Very artistic.......I really like the blur wings,colors and the fantastic bg!!!

[Juan Aragonés]

It works for me to, in fact, I like it a lot. Great composition and low shutter speed use and fantastic BG. I only would add another round of noise reduction to the background. very creative job :-)

I love the blurred wings disappearing in front of the subject. Great bg, a bit noisy, but good looking image!

[Aidan Briggs]

Love the wing blur, pose and BG. Noise has been mentioned

[Ramon M. Casares]

Love it, great comp and very original result! Congratulations!

[Tony Whitehead]

Good job, Isak. These blurs work well with hovering Pieds and really highlight how amazingly still they keep their head in the hover.

[Isak Pretorius]

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I take note of your comments about the noise.

[Arthur Morris]

Love the blurred bird but that BKGR is a fine painting!

[Dave Barnes]

Very interesting Pic Isak. Ditto above comments.
And there I was thinking that you were capturing images of vultures at GC?
