An American Kestrel from the U of M Raptor Center. Shot taken at the Carpenter Nature Center in MN. Obviously a captive bird, (injuries prevent release).

Great pose, Simon. The attitude certainly comes across.

Simon,
I like the pose and what appears to be the attitude of the kestrel. I find the composition a bit too tight and if you have more space around the bird I'd loosen it up some.

Neat pose, I agree on some more room here, particularly on the right.
