Kestrel - RSPB Rainham Marshes

[ABPhotography]

Hello All!

I Hope you had as Great as weather as we had today! A Beautiful Sunshine Blue Sky day, which i would love to see more! as i was up early for college.. i noticed the Blue sky and ceased the opportunity, by skipping all my lectures and heading down to RSPB Rainham Marshes, where the wildlife failed to disappoint!

C&C is welcome! Thanks again!

Lovely sharp shot of the Kestrel.

I'm no expert but the plane doesn't work for me, and I find the vignette a little harsh (although it may just be my eye being drawn by the plane and then focussing on the vignette).

Was getting the plane in shot deliberate or an accident? Whichever, I actually think it works quite well with the Kestrel image could have more impact by cropping in.

Whilst becoming trigger happy when I spotted the Kestrel, the plane happened to pass overhead. I thought it worked really niceley, otherwise it would of been a plain blue sky Background!

A nice accident, I think I'd crop it so the plane and bird where more opposed, say on points of thirds, to make a nice contrast between man-made and natural. However, I'm finding my eye drawn to the larger dust blob a lot, time for a sensor clean methinks.

Well spotted and captured Alex, I would also agree about using a different crop. My eye seems to be drawn more to the fancy frame rather than the subject :shrug:

You didn't notice it? Oh well, guess you not yet as tuned in to sensor dust blobs like the rest of us! It looks like a biggish one so you may find a quick blast with one of those rubber hand-squeezed puffers will shift it.

Nice shot....I've only been to Rainham twice or maybe 3 times but never spotted a Kestral. Maybe next time!
