American Kestrel

One of my nemesis birds. I've seen thousands, and have never gotten

close to one. Today was finally the lucky day with one, and it was a

beautiful male to boot.

Hey Terry I know the feeling. Have yet to get a good one. Very skittish creatures.......and fast too. Gorgeous color. Very pretty indeed.

It's a good start, and you get an wonderful catch, great focus and colors!

Excellent image!

I like very much the colors, great photo!

Excellent shot with very nice details, colots and DOF, great job and regards!

very difficult to catch and you did a great job. nice colour and composition.

Congratulations and on a post too!

That is one gorgeous bird!

 

Nice crop, DOF & sharpness.

Excellent shot with great detail.

Wow - that's a gem! Even your lighting was wonderful. Nice job, Terry...and with a 400mm, no less. Do you have enough to print, or is this a crop?

Plenty to print...although maybe 25% of the image was cropped off for this presentation.

Outstanding!

You did EVERYTHING right on this one!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful capture.

I am wondering about the background is it done in PS or did it come out like that?

Thank you

 

overall great shot.

This is such a great shot of a very beautiful bird. When I saw the thumbnail on today's photo.net homepage, I thought it looked familiar....have a look at my shot.
