I shoted this while walking in the field. I handholded my D300+sigma500 and
made an horizontal pan . The techs: f6.3,  1/160, iso 200 , ev+1
There was some vegetation betwen me and the kestrel, so the image quality and colors are not  good.

Even so, this flight is interesting enough.....

I'm sorry you had to clone all the sky (deleting parts of the ships). It´s unbalanced with the colors in the bottom of the image. Also the horizon is unleveled. Anyway the fisherman stands out....

Me encanta esta Ramón!

Love this composition Wendy!

Just a 7 for me, though I miss the end of the pines in the left, I love the colors and composition. My compliments!

Such a beautiful compo!

Francisco, me encanta!

I had to stay 10 hours in complete silence in my hide (you can see it

in the center of the eye) to get this image. This is a buzzard, an

endemism of Fuerteventura (Canary Islands).

A pictorical quality... I love it!

So, I´m quite surprised to see this pic here (it was posted long time ago).
As time has passed I feel I can critique this one as it should not be mine, but first let´s add some background information.
This is the result of my first practice with photoshop. There are two different pics here. The first is the stairs hole of my former high school taken with a wide angle ( a sigma 10-20), the second is that bird, taken outdoors with a 55-200VR. I was practising masks, so I decide to combine both images, adding the light stream and the shadow of the eggrett.
My first reaction is that I feel quite ashemed about the result. I would't post this one today. There are quite visible mistakes and technical faults (lack of sharpness, overexposition on the bird.....). I have been tempted to delete this one of my gallery, but as I said, it was my first practise and a part of my photo-history, so it stayed. Only thing good I can say about it, is that I somehow like the overall composition-
I would like this one was not chosen, but as it is, I hope it can serve as a good critiquing excercise!

Excellent! I like it.
