    Oh my. This is stunning. Superbly sharp with pugnacious head turn and look. Even a sliver of tail. EXP and sky perfect as well.

    Fantastic. Very sharp, like the composition and perfect EXP. Congratulation.

    Hi Haim

    This is actually a male Lesser Kestrel & the patterned outer primaries indicate a bird that has not quite reached adulthood.;) A female Red-footed Falcon would have a pale buffy head & barred blue-grey back.

    A very nice flight image despite quite the significant crop & a pleasing diagonal composition.

    Cheers: Wayne

    Wish the wing position were different though.

    I like the front on angle and pin sharp. Nice eye contact with the head a little turned.
