What a gorgeous capture of my favourite smaller raptor! She is so beautiful and your image shows her to perfection, Lynn! I love the wing spread showing the fine detail of her plumage colours and markings, while the sweet light is the icing on the cake. Superb!

Great capture in nice warm and even lighting. BG is really nice, too.

The gorgeous lighting and the excellent banking pose grab my immediate attention, Lynn. Also, the background sets off the Kestrel beautifully. A top-notch image!

This is amazing, Lynn. Tried many times but never had a good shot.
