Here's a Kestrel stretching its wings :cool: .

I cropped this shot in favour of the portrait look instead of the landscape look.To co-inside with the wings, Hopefully it worked.

Hello Alan
The image has opened OK for me, sometimes you need to close and re open the post Alison.
It's a well exposed and nicely detailed image, but I must admit that I find the thick branch a little too big for my taste.
Best wishes
Phil :toast:

The pose of the bird, exposure and sharpness is spot on but the branch and angle doesnt really work for me

Excellent on the technicals. But as mentioned: angle and branche let it down.

Yay, it's working for me today. I like this, though the branch does tend to get in the way. However, nature seems to have a knack of NOT co-operating with us! lol!
