NAILED!!!! Excellent timing Gerrie, and that head is pin. Good exposure throughout, and against a typical Mankwe BG. Well captured.

Awesome flight pose, lovely perch and BG too. Very well done.

great pose, details, light, BG and sharpness Bhai, the blurred wings add well here, congrats..

[Betsie Storm]

Another great one, Gerrie, well done. I am suspecting your KF's all line up for command performance when you enter the hide.....:)

[Doug Brown]

You need a hair trigger to capture images like this. I like the eye contact, sharpness, wing position, and light. I only wish there was some separation between the wing and the perch.

[Jan Fourie]

very nice takeoff shot one of your best

Its a very good shot very sharp in around eye which is very important. I only wish for some more separation between perch and the bird just a 0.01 second late :-). Congrats!!
