Love the kestral, not so sure about the background.
Love the kestral, not so sure about the background.
cracking shot though
nice kestral like neil b says not sure about the background just does not look right...
It's a good capture, especially against the ground, but the image has a green hue to it.
The kestrel is super but the background seems to have 2 distinct halves
Thank you Gordon, yes, I was using f/5, set up for another shot when this chap arrived, hence the small DoF which I also prefer for this shotGood BIF shot Trev, focus where it should be head on, spot on the eyes. As you know it is the DOF that gives the effect of two halves, but I do not mind this at all. Nice capture.
Cheers BrianCracking shot Trev, much prefer original background though
Much, much better
Thanks Andy
'Tis a belter of a shot
Thats appreciated Tina, thank youLove the original shot, beautiful focus and the actual shape in flight
Thank you Nicki, think I'll stop playing so much with the shots and keep them simple now, I too prefer the original. I was actually after a buzard when this chap came in low and fast.Nice shot, prefer the 2nd one was this in the wild?

Thanks JohnA cracker Trev,prefer the original[my pref],thank you.

Any chance of seeing it with no PP?
Lovely shot of the Kestral but judging by the halo around the wings and tail it looks like its been cut out of another image and pasted onto a different b/g.
Probably just a trick of the light.
Great capture
Thanks for putting me firmly in my place.
I did think it was the trick of the light.
Still a great capture
Mike
Nicely caught, but just check the working colour space in your editing software Trev - I think something is set to Adobe RGB rather than sRGB?
Thanks Mike, glad you like it. Hope I replied to your comment politely, no offence ever meant in any way
Cheers AdeI prefer the original to be honest Trev. I am probably in the minority of one but I do think that a lot of birds are oversharpened on here. Again, just my opinion.
You did well capturing this, well done.........
Thank you DonWonderful captures.
thanks MikeLike wise
Thanks MarkMasterful, Trev. I love the desaturated background.
Sorry Paul, had to call it off at the last moment, hope the night was interesting.Well captured Trev hope to meet you on Thursday night.
Paul.
Thanks a lot RichGood capture Trev and fair play for having a play around in PS. If we dont make mistakes we learn absolutely nothing, well spotted by Ced`s, and Ade is right as there aint a lot wrong with the original.
Thanks for your commentI really like the seond one which I think is the original.
