I caught this one just as it was jumping off the branch. It was taken on the Okavango river in Botswana.

Baie mooi Marietjie, groete
Spectacular image!! VVWD from me - wish it was mine!!
Killer pose and eye contact but the bg looks a bit noisy!
What a COOL pose. Love the back of the bird. Great timing. Too bad the branch goes right through the bird... I'd be thrilled to have this in my files
OMG!!! :eek::eek:
Fantastic capture. Excellent timing. Good work!
Very cool takeoff pose, eye contact, light and details. Maybe a little NR on the BG.
I love this one. I think if you could crop the stick from which it was flying it would be amazing if not a true representation of what you saw.
fantastic moment and light !!! Just fabilous!!!
Love that spread wing takeoff pose and the face and back are so sharp! Wonderful capture.
Superb action and sharp where it needs to be. Great work!
Amazing pose and amazing sharpness. A small crop from above and below would tighten it up nicely. All in all, spectacular!

Spectacular pose, sharpness, and BG. The BG is a tad bit noisy. Wonderful image!!
Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. I take note of the noise in the background, I usually forget about that...
What a cracker, well done

Spectacular bird and spectacular image!!!
Excellent composition, image and capture,
I like the sharp details and superb color rendition...:cool:
Absolutely spectacular, one for Birds and Birding I think!
Great shot, Marietjie. Love the sharp eye. I would be tempted to soften the sharp patch on the perch so that the only sharp area is on the bird
