Pretoria - South Africa.
These guys are very active, and we have a small sanctuary, where one can practice capturing BIF, as these guys fly around all over the place. This image was hand held.

Hi Stuart,
Excellent pose, light and details. I would remove the water drop or add few more.

Good image with a lot of dyanmism. Good rendition of the bird. Agree about the dropplet. IMHO, I'd add a little more canvas at the top and right. Good shot.

Great light, pose, details and eye contact. I might give it a bit more room.

It is always great to see the topside and I love the flight pose you captured in this image. Excellent detail and lighting as well as good eye contact. Well done Stuart.

Wow, you can feel the action here...love the feathers rustled by the wind! The back/wing seem slightly sharper than the head as presented. I'm sure another selective round of USM on the face would remedy this.

This is gorgeous. Love the back and top wing feathers ruffled by the speed and wind. Beautiful light and wonderful sharp detail.
