This was taken last October in Kirstenbosch Gardens, Cape Town.

Nikon D300s
Sigma 50-500
Tripod with ball head
F8.0
1-400s
ISO 640

A tiny crop to make it less tall to suit composition. :biggrin:

Apart from the light which looks just a tad on the harsh side this is a very well executed image. Good pov, sense of movement and sharpness.

I love hadadas, one of the sounds of Africa. Nice POV, and you have handled the harsh African light well.

Love the composition, pose captured is very good giving the image that impending movement feel. The catchlight brings the bird to life and the POV is spot on too :wink: :wink: :wavey:
