Excellent detail, I think the crop is a little tight and overall could be brighter

Another vote for a bit of brightness needed with a looser crop, possibly something along these lines

Very nice image, I agree with the comments already made. I would also try punching up the contrast just a bit, either with a small nudge of the contrast slider or with the tone curve.

Beautiful bird, nicely shown. I think the previous comments are spot on. Thank you for sharing, Christian.

More space around and I think you will have a great looking image. As said, the contrast would also enhance as per Mikes repost.

Working from Mike Poole's excellent repost in Pane #4 I added and filled in canvas on three sides and did tiny bit of Eye Doctor and NIK Color EFEX Pro work. While the perch leaves something to be desired the rest is superb.
Did you have more room in the original?

Hi Arthur,
thank you for your advice and the photo editing work. Unfortunately, this is full frame and I have to wait for the next opportunity, but that should not be a problem as the kestrels show up every ~60 minutes in this area. I try to get some better shots with the fast 70-200 by moving my artificial natural perch I built the day before yesterday a bit closer to the blind.
I wonder how you would do the Eye Doctor work by hand.
Next time I will do some critique by myself :-D. Thanks.
Best wishes,
Christian

Hi again Christian, When I first commented I forgot to attach my repost. It seems that you might not have seen my repost with the added canvas. Did you see it now in Pane #10?
If the bird likes the post in the photo you can simply tape a more natural perch to it. Many times the bird will land on that within minutes...
