Captured this kestrel at Crown Hill this morning. Thought I would try a little high-key.
Thanks for looking.

Here is one with the dry brush filter. Just something a little different.

Sweet capture! It's not easy getting this close to a kestrel !

What a spread!
I kinda like the clarity that the subtle enhancement provides in the second post.

Stunning capture Dan! I'm not totally in love with the white BG but the dry brush Rx really brings it to life

Great shot!! I like the second shot with the added adjustments. Bird shots like this are so tough to get. Nice work!

Ditto with John on the clarity on the second one. Love the splayed feathers in tail and wings. Great timing to trip your shutter! I also like the high key element to the shot. Beautiful work, Dan!

Neat, Dan--the white bg works just great!

The dry brush filter really improved the apparent contrast around the head and eyes, which was lacking to me in the first image.
