    Very good job capturing this guy against such a busy but interesting background Ondrej. the head turn, eye contact and wing´s pose are killers and the dragonfly is a big additional bonus to an excellent image. Very well done and keep them coming :-)

    I like the angled flight posture in this. Sharp where it counts, and the colours are well exposed. I just find the BG colours clashing with the BE.

    The head turn, food item and eye contact make this one for me. I also like the BG. Maybe a little bit more room top and bottom?

    Capital, Ondrej! Beautiful species and the perfect HA w/prey. Some might say the BG is too busy, but it is what it is. You don't wait for a better BG at a moment like this, obviously!

    Just beautiful...all the elements come together for me and I can envision this one matted and framed and proudly displayed.

    That is not easy, very well done.
    The dragonfly and the sharpness makes it a winner for me.
    Not the usual BG but it works well in this one.
    I might crop a bit of the left and add some to the right.

    Good head turn, sharp eye and the dragonfly is a big bonus. What I like most about this image is arc sharp like wing spread, I really like it. An excellent image. I do like the interesting background, only wish that the OOF right wing doesn't blend in too much with the background.

    Wow, you really captured some colors on this one. Great job with getting those sharp eyes in flight.
