This is another photo of a common kestrel.

I took this picture out of the car and the camera was hand held.

Firstly, well done on this composition. I like the overall potential of the image.

When it comes to DSLRs I have to be a little tuff, in a friendly way. It has the quality of my compact 10x. Just wondering what happened?
Your machine should be crystal clear. I'm not sure if this was super cropped or if it was the p.p. work. There was an oops somewhere. There is a "crystal" halo around the bird from Too much USM.

Like I said, it has alot of potential and I do like it. :)

Nice Kestrel you got here Ido. The colours are great as well as the composition but it looks like you have been a little too harsh with NI (look at the feathers between the tail and the leg). Apart from that it is a very nice picture except from the text within the picture.

The composition is very good and the subject is well placed in the frame, but the quality is a little bit low, I think that you did too much sharpening in this pictures, I can see 'shadows' around the edges.

Félicitations pour cette prise nature. Merci pour l'envoi et bonne journée.

I agree that the halo spoils this, if this was razor sharp and clear it would be outstanding. Is this image cropped from a larger image? That would explain some of the loss in quality

Nice shot, but the blur branches on the right are a wee-bit distracting IMO.
Well done
TFS.

I think you got good detail on the kestrell Ido and the pose is also nice. Good work.

Ido, this is a very cute shot. The bird is very beautiful. The composition is nice, and the blue sky is great too.

Belle image et superbe composition.
Great.

Excellent composition Ido, the focus on the bird sees a little soft but the shot still holds together well, nice job.
