Hi everybody, it's a long time i don't post here ...

Hopefully i have been in Kalagadi National Park - Suoth Africa/Botswana.

Lucky light and hopefully a bird quite close to my car !
I would say that is really difficult to find sobject so close with a nice background !!

This falcon only weight 60 grams.

Thanks

What a lovely little bird. Good pose, detail and great background.

Marco,

Fantastic background, great eye contact and details. Great exposure too.

Regarding composition, IMO subject is little centered for my taste. Since the perch is interesting, I would make a crop with subject at the top left corner and include little more of the perch.
