Really sharp details. I might consider cropping some from the rhs or making it a vertical, to help eliminate the oof branches on the bottom and moving the bird away from center. Sharon

Very cool,Sandy. I'm impressed not only with the technically lovely shots you've posted but also the clean angles you've been able to obtain. And you management of the African sunlight.
