Juv African Harrier-Hawk working out!
Had an enthralling time watching this young guy going from tree to tree being harrassed by all and sundry as he predated on the nests of young Buffalo Weavers , showing excellent gymnastic skills.

Hi Marc, certainly different, I wonder if there should be less above and more below to emphasis the 'hanging' aspect, WDYT?
Perhaps a bit more mid tone to help pull out a bit more form in the plumage and some selective sharpening on the subject?

Very interesting behavior shot. Thanks for posting it. You got a nice head turn and a good look at the nest. I could imagine a little off the top.
I like this a lot.
I would like it even without the bird as the Nest and habitat are very cool.

Yes to interesting behavior. Did you see it take any chicks? I'd wish for a bit more head turn and a somewhat less obstructed view of the leggings....

Hi Marc, super hanging pose, and great that the head is a against a clean part of the BG. You would think that all the surrounding thorns would deter 'visitors', but it is survival of the fittest.
I am a bit late to the party so I read the previous critiques so as to not repeat what has been said.
I agree 100% with Steve K. assessment.
A really unusual pose shown here and very enjoyable to view,
Gail
