Stretching American Kestrel - Click image to view larger!

very nice capture

The lighting and detail in this shot are amazing.  Great DOF, too, with the background adding greatly to the impact of the image.

Good work.

This really is rather a treat. Thanks very much for sharing.

Hi TM,

Well shot using the big 500mm F/4 L series lens.

This is the kind of clarity I expect to see for any lens of this caliber.

Best Regards,  Mike

Beautiful shot, Tm.  Perfect with the outstretched tail & wing feathers!

I've been trying to grab a nice Kestrel shot all year. Nice shot.
