Hello Jorge,
Never new that these kind of birds gould be that tame in the wild.
Overhere in the Netherlands it's possible to come this close when driving a car, but withour camouflage.....No way!!!!
Beautiful capture with excellent composition, sharpness, DOF and lighting.
At first glance I thought that the blue painted poles were drewing to much attention and were a little distracting, but after looking at the image for longer time they don't, and actually add something like contrast.
Thanks for sharing,
Have a nice weekend,
Harry

Hello Jorge,
You were lucky to be that close to this beautiful creature. This is a nice composition with good details and exposure. I love the color of the BG as well. Thanks!

Jorge, Very well composed. Yes you are lucky to be within 7 meters. The bird must be very bold. The background is perfect. As mentioned by you, I wish the perch were a tree or even a stump without painting.

Hi Jorge
great capture with perfect compo, given that this is still not a full frame. I particularly like the blue BG line together with the blue wooden pole, the open space to the right and the nice catchlight
well done!

Hola Jorge,

Hola Jorge Javier,
I hope you had a good trip to Sweden.
This female Kestrel is certainly and excellent capture: the yellow legs on the blue post- the Swedish colours! Fine bokeh BG and very good sharpness.
I agree with you: the blue does not look natural but it is a fine shot!
TFS,
Saludos,
Ivan

Buen trabajo.

Hola Jorge Javier,
Bella foto (a mi no me estorba el palo azul) e impresionante dato el que nos aportas sobre la conducta comparada de los cernícalos suecos y españoles. Doy por hecho que los cernícalos no tienen "cultura" que justifique el hecho y no veo cómo escapar de que somos los humanos los que hemos creado esta pauta.
Abrazo,

Hello Jorge,
This is a lovely capture of the Kestrel in beautiful light. Very sharp details and I like the big yellow claws showing! I like its pose too and the colours of the plumage are beautiful.
I hope you enjoyed your holiday in Sweden!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla
