kestrel food exchange (view larger)

Very good light and moment. Excellent shot.

Very good capture ,congrats .

Independent of the permanent  photographic top quality, there is always 'action' in your shots. That's what makes your works so special! Compliments!

Incredible image Monte. Are you shooting them from a blind?

Great.

Eric, not take from an actual blind, but sitting low in high grasses, so end result is similar.

Incredible !!  7 / 7

Can't see anything wrong.  Marvelous detail.

Very very well done, Monte...

Incredible shot Monte.. I really love this shot... I wish this one could been mine..

Another great image. Fantastic. Regards, Jean-Marc

This is a beautiful shot Monte.  I do love Kestrels, and this shot is truly lovely.  You must be a very patient man, waiting for just the right shot. Or do you take 'many' and weed through till you find that 'very one' you hoped you'd captured.???  Your work shows great care and attention to detail.  You truly must love these birds.  Well done, Sincerely, Gail  (This shot deserves a 7, but I wasn't allowed....please know my 6's are 7's....sincerely, Gail)

Very unique and high quality photo!

Just excellent! 7/7

Your work continues to amaze me, Sir Monte. 7's from above. Regards, Lawrence.

Really a good gift! Bravo!

Very nice but how many more of these have you got packed away... (-:

Clearly the best kestrel image I ever saw.

It is always worth it to come to your portfolio and see what is new.

Thanks for sharing.

This is such a beautiful picture of outstanding quality. Very sharp and smooth at the same time. Birds and background fit perfectly together.

Truly exceptional.  The action, composition, detail, lighting, they are all outstanding.  This is what a "7" is all about.

Excellent capture, Monte...nicely composed...beautiful dof and details...fantastic moment...no less than 7...my best

I am in awe - honestly. I am dumbfounded by the clarity. If I were standing next to them I don't think I would see them in such crisp detail. The light, colours, detail, EVERYTHING.... breathtaking.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to look and comment.  Much appreciated.

One of my favorite shots of the year.Just great
