    Default Kestrel in flight

    I got this Kestrel after she finished dinner and sprang off her perch. (you can see remains of rodent fur in the beak). Shot in Half Moon Bay, CA.




    7D + 400 f/4 DO @ f/6.3 1/2000sec ISO 800. sw Canon DPP 3.7 Digital Processing: Crop and sharpen

    Hope you like it.

    I like the light, wide crop, angle and eye contact and might sharpen the bird more if there is more fine detail in the RAW file.

    Another beauty, Arash. Love the light, color and action. My eye is drawn to the part of the BG that is less than a total blur, midway between bird and left border, but I don't know if it is worth messing with -- a nitpicking detail. A fine image.
