Lanner Falcon Feeding

[Morkel Erasmus]

This is another image of the lanner falcon we found feasting on a laughing dove it had caught in the North of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in South Africa. (You can see the first one here: http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ad.php?t=48924)

Sidelight from the rising sun created a great mood here.

All comments appreciated...

I like this one better than the previous, especially seeing the top of his head. Beautiful light, great exposure.
