A few kestrel shots

Jeez I need a bigger lens. These were done at 300mm. 3 and 4 are cropped quite a bit.
Anyway, comments welcome.

Oh shit i thought the bird in the first 2 was a crack in the lens.
Hahaha.

Very nice shots, but you could do some postwork to improve them. Colour / contrast and... the pixelation.

3 and 4 are very nice, good job getting him in focus.

yea mate lovely shots. but for the last two you should use a little neat image, it worth it where did you took these shots? i mean is it far from your house? cuz thats seems a beautyfull place :O

Gj..I'm really liking 3 and 4 mate.

They look fake?
Looks asthough you planted them in???

All dead center shots. Think composition even when shooting birds flying! Putting something in the center often kills the interest quickly.

Ben: Why the hell would anyone bother to fake photographs of BIRDS? Lol.

[stanx]

ben LOL XDD you made me laugh. ^^

OK, stanx, what is neat image? And yeah this is about a 5 minute drive from my house.

Dale, pixelation is because I cropped the last 2 and they were taken at 800 ISO, so it didn't hold the detail in the background when I cropped them down.

Ben, I assure you they are not fake.

Rabies, yeah they are dead centre, he kept flying away so quickly that I just had to focus as quick as I could and snap the shot.

Cheers for all your comments guys.
