A truly amazing picture, Ofer. Great to have eye contact with both and the food item adds to it a lot.
Love the composition as well.

Terrific image designed. Two very good head positions and prey always a plus. Excellent DOF coverage...good call on f-stop. great colors and BG.

If mine, I'd add some more canvas on top.

Great shot, both birds' eye contact with food is always a winner. I like the colors and the BGD is sweet.

:e3 OK, I take that back :e3 Tiny, tiny, tiny secondary catchlight in the top right birds eye but the most minor of nits and I feel embarrassed even saying something about it :bg3:
