I got this shot the same day as the previous post. I'm not sure which one I like the best. I still had to do alot of sharpening but it still turned out pretty good.

Incredible photo Rob. It looks at least a stop too light to me.

Awesome angle. I agree with Alan on the exposure but still a nice shot.

Rob,

Too light on my monitor. I can't look too long, my neck hurts already.

Jim
Enjoy viewing

I love the upside-down position. You've already heard about the exposure.

Nice shot!!

I agree with the overexposure. I just posted to quickly without really working the image. How about this one.

I love kestrels. The stop action here is tremendous. These contortions usually happen so quickly that there is no time for it to register. it's wonderful to be able to see it.

Awesome pose, Rob.

Looks like the wings really caught the sun.
