Love the soft light gradient and the pose and perch. Well done. I've enjoyed your S. Africa pictures. Keep 'em coming!

Lovely light and nice pose Sandy, the prey in the beak works well for the overall comp. Seems like a fairly large crop as the image appears a tad soft on my monitor. Nice capture.

A very artistic composition and a great capture of this interesting bird, Sandy! The bug in it's beak is a really nice bonus. Excellent photo!

A lovely work of art, Sandy. One small point for me that just misses absolute perfection are the halos around the bird’s mandibles.
