This is a beautiful closeup of this Kestrel and so beautifully captured.
 
Thank you for your very kind comments.

It was actually not as close as it looks as the Kestrel was over 50 yards away and this is just a heavy crop from the central 1/3rd of the photo frame (so only using about 2MP of a small 20MP Micro Four Thirds sensor). Under the circumstances I was very pleased at how well it came out.

That's a cracking shot you've taken of this Kestrel nbroadsman, and I love the pose you captured.

Excellent work lad - very well done.
