Thank you for looking.

Very pleasing image indeed ! Love the detail on the bird and animal and also the beautiful soft pastel background. Would have loved a slight glint in the eye - but still very, very nice.

[Adrian David]

Nice looking bird! I think a little more sharpening on the bird would enhance the details on the plumage...

Hello Haim,
Agree with above comments - this is a beautiful image and the only thing that I would do would be to remove the little white speck on the bird's face. Gotta love that hairy back...:eek::D
Best,
Nicki

Believe it or not, I visit the game reserves two or three times a year, and still dont have a decent shot of an OP on any animal. Super comp, and good sharp detail on the little guy. Lovely BG colour too.

I like the light, eye contact and BG and would give it a bit more room top and bottom.

Awesome blood suckers. Really nice image. Looks a bit tight for me but still very nice.
Is it full frame?
