He looks sweet, but I wouldn't trust that beak! Great closeup of him - how far away were you when you took this shot?

I agree with Lindy, he does have a very attractive face, that and his neutral colors do tend to give him an 'almost' friendly look...good clarity here but also a soft look about this...a pleasure to view.:Pat.

Ohhhh, birdie.. Pretty, pretty birdie.. Lovely photo..

wooooow deze is wel heel gaaf !!!
t'wort een mooie serie !
je bewaart de mooiste voor het laatst.

These soft colors, soft focus, and the nice background blend all work very well for wallpaper in this particular shot. favs. Really neat!

That's a really good shot. How did you get so close?

Wow, very impressive shot. Great detail and nice light. Up close and personal;-)

Great photo 10 and Favs.

wow.. i'm impressed with your recent bird series.. this one has the most tremendous details! the soft shades in the background focus this beautiful bird perfectly.. but the details.. they are simply breathtaking! i love his eyes.. this bird has such a deep look in them, i think he has some psychic powers :D

i can't think of anything other to say than to congratulate you on this impressive image. thank you for sharing it! have a nice day :)

The focus is perfect, though the image is very soft. Excellent! High mark by me :-)

Wonderful photo ,love the details. Thanks for sharing / HJ

Ahh, Raptor Rapture! A simply gorgeous photo, great quality, good focus, great lighting and color. I love these beautiful creatures, (Birds of Prey). Isn't the Kestrel sometimes also referred to as a sparrow hawk, because it's smaller than regular hawks and such?

Anyhow, it is an awesome phot, and you did a great job capturing it so amazingly! Good job!

(If you have a chance I'd appreciate any advice or comments you could give me on the pics in my gallery. If you have the time, that'd be awesome. Thanks!) Have a great day!

Awwww, this guy has a very feminine face. Great picture!
peace

Hi Eric
This is the first Kestrel shot I've seen on Caedes. I reckon it's immature, and still feeding from it's parents due 2 it's big bulk, and plummage.
Keep on shooting
Phil
