Posing Kestrel

Hello Everyone,

I left this morning with camera for a short ride. I ended up parking the car and setting up the window blind. 4 1/2 hours later and 3 Kestrels (2 males,1 female),I was rewarded with some closer encounters. Time actually went by quickly watching them feeding on insects nonstop.

C&C WELCOME!

Nikon D200, 80-400 afs

Peter...nicely...love the pose and the BG. Only minor nit would be a bit more space on the left.

Hi Peter!! It is a nice shot. Perserverance won!! I think bumping the contrast would bring it away from the bg. I agree with wanting more left side room.
