Beautiful shot Stephen, the tip of the beak slightly lost but it has a dark beak, love the diagonal composition always suggests movement, they are so fast you must have been waiting for hours, the one trip Julie & I were standing talking outside the hide when he just swooped in, grabbed and off.

[David Fletcher]

Neat shot Stephen! Love that bg too! Excellent diagonals.

Hey Stephen, I always enjoy these diagonal banking images. I like the concentrated look in the eyes, and good show of the fully extended wings. Well captured.

[Chris Kotze]

Super incoming captured, lovely detail and colours

[Morkel Erasmus]

pops nicely Stephen. pin sharp and great detail. I would add about 5 pixels space all round if this isn't full frame.

Great pose and love the concentration on its face. A bit tight for my taste. Thanks for sharing. :)
