    Well done on this rather interesting-looking bird. I always love seeing new species to me. Nice flight pose and the prey is a huge plus. ENvironment worked out nicely.

    Very interesting, sharp and love that eye, beaut looking species with the ruddy colored down swept wings, food in the beak is always a great addition. Liking as well threinclusionnof the tree top to add more interest than just a plain sky

    Interesting crop Brendon. Personally I would have included less of tree top and more sky. Motion and catch a bonus.
