    Really love the low angle, light, SH, details, prey item and the eye. Only wish the dark part of BG wasn't there.

    Works relatively well for me. Low angle, details, and most of the BG are good (except for the two taller grass blades that catch my eye). The image may need half a degree CCW rotation.

    Hi John, lovely low angle here, and I like the ruffled feathers. Excellent exposure on the whites, and I agree, a touch of CCW rotation wont harm the image.
