Male kestrel = view larger

Spectacular image. Beautiful. Regards, Jean-Marc

I'd like to start off by saying this is better than I've ever done. That said, I feel the detail of the prey is lost against the bird.

Beautiful Shot.

Excellent shot...

Great action shot, Monte.

Beautiful colours, amazing capture and clarity! congrats Monte!!

Ah, so they're back! Nicely done, the light is a bit harsh but still super. BTW, not to worry about the 4/4, I beat you on the scumbag ratings.... mine got a 3/3. Somebody doesn't like Kestrels.

Christopher, it's a jeruselum cricket commonly known as a potato bug. Would make a great macro. Steve this is actually recycled from last yeat.

Ah, an honest man. Wonder if they'll be back after the fire.

the blur of the background , the sharpness of the bird

the harmonious position , all is wonderful

great job
