You have freezed the movement nicely. It is good that you used a higher ISO. The details on the feathers are nice. Just a bit of more space on the top would be good. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely capture, Praveen! Nice that light was on your side. I liked the angle. It is difficult to get a nice hovering shot with Teles.

Nice image. I am sure this is the first of the many flights shots that we will see from you.

At the moment, the shadow side of the kestrel is towards you. Wish you were on the other side. That would have really lifted the image. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
