Great species, wonderful light and setting. The feathers seem to lack some detail, but that said I love the image as it is ! Cheers, Hans

Interesting photo Avi, To me it seems like the birds beak almost mergers with the BG. I wish the head was turned more towards the camera. Still, a nice image with some action going on. Thanks for sharing.

Nice calling pose. I like the curving sweep of feathers on the flank of the bird though there doesn't seem to be a lot of detail there at f/10 and 1/1600.
