Raptors - Kestral

This is very good. Amazingly sharp. So simple, honest and beautiful. One of your best bird pictures. 

Thank you so much for your most generous comment.

I had just taken delivery of my new Minolta lens, and 2x and went out to a local park to the Raptor show there........ the raptor handler was quite happy for me to film the birds going through their paces............this shot, was actually about 40 metres away, and the birds is tiny.... so I was delighted with the image quality after the enlargement........

I still love this particular lens............

Thanks again.........

Best regards 

Still recouperating a bit..... so have not been out and about too much.

Thought this oldie might arouse a little interest............. comments

Excellent capture!  Nice bokeh too!

Oh I love Kestrals Grayham. There was a Limited Edition Print by Carl Brenders that I wanted to buy when we had our Gallery, but it was sold out before we could get one. They are such beautiful birds, and this capture is EXCELLENT!!! Well done Grayham.

Trusting you and yours are doing well, all the best, Gail

I like it ... focus spot on, with the nice clear background.

Thanks for stopping by and your kind comments...........this was my first outing with my (then) new lens and I was really knocked out with its performance....... these Kestrals are tiny and this fella was at least 40 metres away - so I am pleased with the definition.

Thanks again............
