The "snaps" you have posted are very good, but that's because you are attempting to freeze a very fast moving subject that will look completely different every time you press the shutter. That may well be hundreds of times. Every shot different. You don't need to add anything, the subject is giving you thousands of poses. A static building is just that. Static.The only thing that changes is light. Press the shutter hundreds of times and you will get the same shot. It is up to you, the artist, to decide how to make your shot capture something that every other photographer before you has missed. If all you are documenting is the existence of the building then that is fine. Living objects evolve before your eyes, even flowers will look different in the evening to how they look in the morning. This is where picking the moment is critical. Exactly as you have done for the fantastic shots of the kestrel. And no, they won't look out of place on Birdforum or Pbase.

With respect
