    Got this lady kestrel with the Sun right behind me.
    Have kept the crop a bit tight for WEB presentation.

    Spec: 1/5000, F 4, ISO 500.

    Mk4+500mm.

    Regards,

    Kiran.

    A perfect image indeed Kiran. Does not get any better than this. I cannot find any faults whatsoever.

    Lovely image in flight . Like the wing position, eye contact, background and the bright feet dangling beneath it.
    How much crop was this ?

    pretty much perfect. perfect DOF and high SS has frozen it. good call on the ISO. Nailed the shooting and bird angles. Masterfully done. If mine, I'd have tad more room at front.

    Very good as usual Kiran! I only wish for better separation between the top of the head and the far wing. Excellent stuff

    Good flight angle and posture Bhai, and the overall sharpness is spot on. Great BG too.

    Thanks Chas, this is about 60% of the original.
