Good pose, good timing, just enough foliage showing in the frame. Is that the nictitating membrane on the eye? In a ny case I'd try to fix it to make the eye more appealing.

Wicked jump pose with a great view of the upper wings. I think that a bit more sharpening and some Eye Doctor work would improve it. Do you have another frame of the same bird for an eye-grab?

[Shawn Zierman]

Sweet sharp details and flight pose....love the tail flare and wing positioning.

[Jim Crosswell]

Great timing Nico! I like the raised tail, wing position and composition.

Hi Nico, excellent timing to capture the singing pose, and I really like the angle you have captured here. Is this a recent image from Rietvlei, as I havent seen them around in the shrubs yet.

Great pose and environment. I feel the image could use a little more pop perhaps with a levels adjustment
