    Hi Ken, good look-back pose, and this is a fine looking Kestrel. Good DOF, sharp, and I acually like a sky BG in this.

    Love the pose! Good detail. Exposure looks ok on my screen (or do I need a new monitor?).

    Thanks everybody for your comments, lookng at this again, I think that the sky would benefit from a little lightening.
