Image captured at Polentswa, Kalahari.
After decent rain for a couple of days, the termites were about. A sight to see Tawney Eagles, Bateleurs, and hunderds of Abdim Storks trying to catch the small prey in the dry riverbed.

Nice stare straight into the camera. I like the ruffled feathers on the head with good detail. Nice OOF BG too
For some reason i end up cross eyed myself when I stare into the birds eyes :D

Good exposure, neat stare, nice background. Focus is well attained but I would apply a small round of sharpening for web presentation to get the fine detail a bit crisper. Square comp works well enough.
Great shot with great eye contact,catch light, Details great close up view of the bird........
Nice frame, full of interesting details.
Thank you Shane, Daniel, Ritesh and Grace.
Daniel, after resizing for Web and resharpening for web, I backed off a bit on the layer opacity for the sharpening- I was told my images was over sharpened:eek3:.
Incidentally this was a LARGE crop, the IQ was retained with the D3S..
Image looks fine on MAC, does look a bit flat on laptop?
Thank you for comments!:cheers:
Cheers

Hi Andre, great eye contact, and love the layered feather detail. Well exposed too.
