Nice light and low angle the prey item is nice. The bird could be a touch lower in the frame.

Nice light exposure prey item and look at the eye. Not sure if its just the beach but could the image use a slight CCW rotation? Since you had the ISO might have been worth it to stop down a bit more to get the prey item sharper. Shame about the tags on the legs but not sure how much you can do about them. TFS

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the comments. I think its was the beach but I could rotate it but I chose it keep it as it is.

I did not want do any Photoshop work for the Tags. They are fine for me.
