kestrel food exchange (view larger)

I think that has got to be the cleanest sharpest pic I have see in a long time. I am guessing it was feeding time at the bird sanctuary or the likes that allowed a semi-controlled environment. Can't fault the technicals, just one problem for me and it is the branch shooting out the left of the frame and dragging my eye away from the action, think i would be tempted to get the cloning brush out. Would be interested to know any post-processing techniques used or is it as shot. This is tremendous (but I am just a nobody, but know what I like)

Outstanding, one of your best, Monte

The color, as always, is impressive, the focus well done, not that the poor critter being devoured could be bothered with such details.

Perfect in every way. Beautiful birds.  Gail
