Thought I would give the theme one more go before the new month arrives...

Locaton: Mankwe Hide, Pilanesberg Game Reserve, South Africa
Equipment: Canon 7D and 500mm F4 L lens at 500mm
Settings: 1/2000s at F7.1 and ISO 800

Rudi:

Excellent timing, soft light, nice sense of the environment without overpowering the bird.

Sharp and well exposed. He is angling a bit away from us.

I could see a sliver more room above if you have it.

Cheers

Great BIF shot. Love how you captured him launching off from the perch. Nice wing blur in the tips, gives a nice sense of motion.

Thanks Randy and Josh!
