Rob -

This is awesome. The head turn makes a big-time connection to the viewer. Sweet BG and light.
Congrats!!

You are "da Kestrel King". Great fly by with a perfect head turn. I should have sent you to shoot the volleyball games and I could have shot your Kestrel. Then again, I'd probably have gotten only half the bird with the beautiful BG!!!

I'm thinking I'd like to see him more in the upper right rather than in the lower left. It also looks overall a bit light or maybe more contrast in the bird Rob. Great capture with the wings up, talons down, and eye contact. My second favorite bird of prey, next to the redtail hawk, which I haven't got any great shots of yet so I'm some envious. :mrgreen:
