    Default Kestrel in snow

    I photographed this Eurasian kestrel feeding on a field vole in the warm afternoon sun.
    Again, this image is from the Tempelhof airfield in the center of Berlin. Here, voles are
    plentyful, providing food for kestrels, common hawks and at least one Red fox.
    Hope you like it! Comments and critics are welcome.

    Great moment captured here. Your exposure looks pretty good. Would like to see your subject a tad less centered in the frame. Maybe a bit more space all around and move him a tad to the right.

    Nice to see you got that close. I really like the low shooting angle. A bit of light on the eye would have been nice and you might want to add a catch light.

    Well captured and great detail.
    The low angle captures the moment well.
