American Kestrel (looks better in large format)

This is an American Kestrel it is a small falcon about eight inches

in length (21.59 cm) but with a 21 inch wing (53.34 cm) span. I

admit it I got lucky with this photo but would like to here what you

think about this composition. If you dont like it for what ever

reason feel free to critique it (negative or positive) as long as you

are sincere I would like to know what you think about the photo.

 

f/stop unknown at this time I forgot to bring my notes.

Very hard shot to capture. It's very nice

I think the angle is such that he looks a little too much like a missile. I realize it is not an easy shot to get but would be better if the wings were more visible. The clutched mouse is a great catch, though.
