American Kestrel and prey

Fabs

Shot at Green Cay Wetlands, Delray Beach, Fl
Canon 1d2, 600/4 with stacked converters
f/8, 1/500, iso 400

Female of the species, hunted the little mouse and finally decided to leave it for others. She loves Dragonflies and Crickets.

Comments always appreciated.

Wow, what can I say. Just a darn near perfect shot. Great exposure, fine comp, nicely defocused background, and interesting action.

Well isn't Ms Krystal lovely. She was giving you a present. Can you still accurately AF with the stacked converters?

Fabs

Yes!!! It hunts a little but it does.

Thanks!!!

I think I hear the mouse saying "I'm not dead yet!"

I can't believe you got it this sharp with stacked extenders. Love the color of the background, nicely sets of the bird's plumage.

Sweet shot, great moment.

wow
Excellent Kestral image.
Tough to catch around here most of the time.

Nice capture, nice photo.

That looks like a prime example of biting off more than you can chew.
