    A beautiful image I love the pose and the perch...and the background. It is a very engaging image and it quite rightly demands attention.

    I really like the soft look of this.
    At first I thought it need more contrast, but the more I look, the better I like it,
    Nice perch and pose.

    Hi Ramesh, super comp and pose, and I like the detail on the Kestrel. I do like the BG, and would like to see how this looks with a touch more contrast.
