Kestrel - female with a field mouse

Another one I recently took in Israel with my buddy Doron Hoffman. This is a wild field mouse and not a bait. We attached our perch to this female's favourite perch and waited. We were rewarded with a few keepers in the two hours session.

This image tells quite a story. I almost feel sorry for the mouse.....he almost looks like he's begging to be spared. I like the composition and the perch as well. It appears a bit light but I'm on my small laptop at school and all images appear light. Well done.

Really love the attention you're getting from both the bird and the prey there - eye contact is sweet. Lovely background too.

Hello Ofer,

Your knowledge on this bird paid off. Nice eye contact(from both bird and mouse) and nice colors. Head seems to be a bit soft from maybe movement or it need some more sharpening. It seems to be a little overexposed...if you look at your levels in PS you are cutting a bit on the right side. Maybe you can go back to ACR and try to correct it.
Congrats.

Another big mazel tov Ofer! love the details and the prey!!! color balance is very good in this one. so is exposure. I would just sharpen the tip of the beak a little and not touch anything else.

Thanks for sharing :)
