American Kestrel
While looking for the owl picture I previously posted, I came across this American Kestrel with its lunch. This was also at Butch Cassidy’s home.
I cropped to bring attention to the eye, beak, and talons while leaving a bit of motion blur in the wings to keep some life (his wings were quivering as he ate) in the picture.
Since this is my first day in the group, I don’t know if two pictures a day is too much or not. Please let me know. I typically will only upload occasionally.
I would be interested in people’s opinion on whether close cropping like this is more appealing than whole bird with distracting branches around the bird. I can post that version if anyone wants to comment.
