#2

i really like the third shot out of these, i think its because its doing something, it makes it more interesting.

Nice capture - always worth grabbing those opportunities when they come along.
I *really* like the detail you've caught in #2.

Possibly crop #1 and #3 from both L+R, retaining the only central third?
Seems to me you need some sky for context, but this is maybe a bit too much?

this is a nankeen kestral.
notice that you shot these with 105mm focal length.
good that it let you get that close.

Thanks for the comments.

Will try a portrait crop on #1 and #3.

avkomp, thanks for the name - had it before, but forgot it.
I was standing rather close - a bit necky really as it did have very sharp looking talons and kept looking at me.

2nd one is my favourite... love the beautiful rich colours, these pics are so sharp too. What lense did you use?

Michael.

The sharpness colour and frame filling image of the second one is great despite tail missing and bird not looking at camera. Can't have everything
cheers

They were taken with a Sigma 105mm Macro lens.
