Looks like the Cape is treating you well Kobus. Excellent exposure on those blacks, and like the posture. That BG reminds me of a rietvlei BG.

I like the balancing act pose, composition, BG and sharpness. Noise level looks good especially at this high ISO.

[Gerrie van Vuuren]

Like the pose & composition. BG not too shabby & exposure spot on with good blacks & detail. Great capture!

[Daniel Cadieux]

I like this one alot Kobus, very well done. I like the soft colours of the BG and perch, not to mention the neat pose too :-)

[Chris Kotze]

Super action capture and great detail. Well exposed
