Nice headstudy, like your background!

A very nice shot with beautiful lighting and details, Chris!

Long time no hear:-))

Fantastic portrait of this beautiful bird..the lovely bokeh certainly helps bring home  the true clarity of the shot.....Regards

I think Keith says it best, this has to be one of the most beautiful bird shots I have seen. Kestrels are among my favorite of birds, the colors in the male are extraordinary. But you've made this beautiful female 'shine'. The detail is superb, bokeh beautiful, but most of all, her EYES...looking straight at you. Lovely work! deserves the best........congrats, Gail

A very impressive image with excellent details, nicely positioned in the frame, wonderful soft harmonious colors, good tones.

It looks like watching if there any mice pop-up from camera's lens.
