My Old Kestrel part II
Uploaded: December 15, 2006
Hi Guys,
This old lady (you can tell by the wide yellow ring around her eyes, the wider the older they are), lets me get really close to her recently. Sometimes she even hunts in my presence!
Greetings,
Jeroen Stel

Your Kestrels are fabulous Jeroen. Jim #3706669Ken Slade December 15, 2006
Another great shot of this bird. Exceptional soft colors, perfect exposure, outstanding composition. I really appreciate all the technical information you gave. It really helps those of us who are struggling to determine what settings get what results. #3706677Janine Russell December 15, 2006

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
