    From the captive raptor shoot we did yesterday with the LI rehab folks. A great little bird with lots of energy.

    Joe, this is excellent. The pose and the back view are lovely. Very good details and exposure. Maybe just a touch more room bottom right.

    I like the light, perch, BG and eye contact. Another vote for more room and there are some artifacts in the BG, probably due to jpg compression and another grayish one next to the beak.

    He was my favorite !

    We were so enthralled with the birds that we missed Howard Stern waiting for the rehaber to release a bird his wife found. http://www.howardstern.com/image.hs?...r-And-Beth.jpg

    Joe, Really nice details and lighting. The BG color is perfect to compliment the Kestrel. Nice pose and perch also.

    Joe, I like the pose detail and sharpnes. A touch more room at the Lower right corner would improve.
