Hi Phillip,
Excellant image, super detail and colour. Have you purchased NX? I want to buy it but I'm waiting for it to be on sale, I see its available in the states.

Hi Phillip,

Superb shot. Love the detail and the colour looks wonderful. Maybe a bit more at the bottom for me, but highly subjective. Be quite interested to know the techs on this.

Hi Phillip,

Great capture. Wonderfully sharp and nice depth of field keeping the feet and majority of the bird sharp. What was the light like? It looks nice and soft but their is blue sky. Had the sun gone behind a cloud? Very nice. Nikon NK has done it justice. :toast:

Great pic'. Looks like it's coming out of my screen.

Personally, I would like to see more sky below the Kestrel - but great shot anyway.

Regards
