Kestrel Silhouette
Taken in the Fens last weekend whilst walking back from a so so session with the SEO's. I do not see too many silly wets on the forum and I liked this one so here it is for C&C.

MkIV, 500f4, ISO 200, f4, 1/1000 On a monopod crouched down in a ditch, 70% of original.

Cracking shot! Really like this one. The composition and pose from the Kestrel is spot on, lovely colours too.

Yep, silly and wet, well done.

Very different for on here and I really like it. The composition is excellent and the colours really enhance the mood. If anything, if it were mine, I might try increasing the saturation a touch to warm it up even further. :toast:

Great image that tells its own story. Very moody and love the barbed wire too.

I do like the idea but I think I'd prefer if the strong black top and bottom weren't there, leaving just the fence post, wire and bird. Probably wasn't possible of course.
