She flew to the top of this stump with food for her youngster who was in a cavity a few feet below her.

Very nice Allan, the DOF and prey look good.
All sharp and a pleasing BG and interesting perch.
I think a crop with a bit less at the bottom and a bit more at the top would look nice.

Agree with the above comments. Shame the tail wasn't sharp.

Hi Allan, good view of the head and wings on this girl, and the catch adds a lot. I like the colour of the BG too. Comp wise, I would probably come in from the left a bit more.

I like the background, perch, prey item, and subject placement within the frame. Good colours. I do wish she would have swung her body more to her left for a better body/head angle. Still a nice image!

Exellent image quality, great details and sharpness.
