Just love those low shots but it's the getting that sucks!

 

[Uncle Kevriano]

Beautiful Male Kestrel. This shot was taken at 800mm in crop mode on the A1, so effectively equivalent to 1150mm, and then cropped in. He was a good 50 yards away at least. Minimal sharpening in Topaz. This lens is sharp.
