A cool looking Kestrel, Ken. Excellent detail and a great head turn. To me it feels a bit centered. I think a touch off the right would fix that.

Beautiful bird, indeed! Not where you would like to photograph it, but hey - I wouldn't have said no to it either. A little less centered might help.

New species for me. Nice look at a bird I'm unfamiliar with, especially the yellow details on the face.
