    Pretty graphic, interesting action and good details. I would tone down the highlights more and wish for more eye contact.

    Manos, great action captured, that frog looks very tasty. You had very nice light and your exposure is great. I wished there was some eye contact and would have been nice if the blind were pushed over to the right but you did great with what you had. Congrats

    Interesting action. The light looks great. I wish I could see the head better with more separation.

    Hi Manos, The frog is cool and the techs are aall fine but with the falcon's head angled away from us this one does not work for me.

    The HA is fine for me, as the the action is him tearing into his meal. I like the light, detail and colours, together with the two tone BG. Well captured.

    More eye contact mate and it would be a killer. The frog is a nice touch. Thanks for sharing Manos. :)
