What a beautiful bird, beautiful indeed. Love the browns and whites, the tail feathers and the detail you have captured in its face. The upright log or whatever that is is nice too, and is the beautiful blue sky.

Mary,
A beautiful picture of this Nankeen Kestrel perched on the end of s hollow dead branch against a clear cloudless blue sky. The sunlight catching the sparkle in it's eye while highlighting it's beautiful plumage. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Excellent presentation, I love birds and this one is in a beautiful position with an excellent angle and closeup, with a nice frame choice creating the perfect harmony and content in relation to nature - excellent sharpness, super contrast
A really beautiful bird with such a nice color combination and special position in this cut off tree, well seen, well reacted and wonderfully presented, Kudos

Beautiful little falcon, perfectly placed within the frame, I like the dead tree it has posed on , well defined face and that hooked bill showing that this is a predatory bird, also like it's talons .nice clear eye complete with a catch light. Love the fanned tail feathers!
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, colors snd tones appear natural. Well composed and presented!

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that handsome kestrel and its location. Like its tail display.
Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely done!

Lovely detailed capture, Zilyram! Really like the striking colours and contrast of the subject against the solid blue sky background. Stay safe - God bless.

A beautiful little falcon. Not as colorful as the American Kestrel but with a similar face. I like this perspective and expecially the fanned tail. Great colors and crisp details.

Comment from TDtraditionalart


This is a beautiful bird!! A great shot! Nice point of view looking up at him. The composition you chose is very effective, it makes him stand out nicely. The blue sky makes for a great background, the colour is very rich. Some details of your bird are not quite in focus, maybe your shutter speed wasn't up just enough to catch all his movements. But it doesn't change the initial impact of the image. Very well done, thanks for sharing
