    Neat looking bird. Love the pose and the prey of course. I don't mind the grasses not much you could do about them anyway. Details look good.

    Oh I wish that lower branch wasn't there. What a great pose you captured Jon. Fab HA and the prey adds. I like the grasses. Infact I like everything except that lower OOF branch.

    Very nice look at a bird I've never seen! Great head angle and detail, but the various foliage and associated lines are a bit distracting.
