    Hehehehe, good one, I love the eye contact and the glow coming from the subtle back
    light. Where was this taken?

    I would of prefered this Kestrel in some nice direct light but given the situation you take what you can get.
    A nice direct look back at you and good detail I just wish the upper left corner wasn't so distracting in the bg....
    Still a great bird to have on file....

    This is one of my nemesis birds so I always appreciate any image of them. I like the eye contact that you have gotten with this one. Better light would certanly have made it better but I think that it's a very nice image as is.....one I'd be tickled with anyway.

    Man, I love the backlight and the excellent eEXP but do agree with James on the UL BKGR, an easy fix if that works for you. This is the composition that you needed for your young martin above.
