Pied with catch

Image taken in overcast conditions. They position the fish like this in the beak when flying with it to the nest. Taken at the Mankwe hide in the Pilanesberg National Park.

Lovely image! You did well with what looks like less than perfect light. Great pose, shooting angle, eye contact and catch. Would add some to the bottom and remove from the top - nothing major.

Hi Gerrie, good exposure on the PK, and I like the sharpness in this. His catch a bonus. ( has the pond filled up for me to come for a visit? )

[Tony Whitehead]

Good exposure and good pose/HA, Gerrie. Fish is great. BG is lovely but significant jpg artifact at this size. Maybe a little more space around the bird. Looks like a spot with great opportunities.

Excellent details and exposure on the PK Gerrie. (soft light suits this). Good to see the fish ready for presentation. Nicely done.
