Oh man, bummer about the bird taking off away from you! Light looks harsh. You did time it well, and the colours and BG look great.

[Callie de Wet]

Even the tongue is there. Lovely shot, Jan, we wait so long and then they take-off at the wrong angle. Will be proud if it was mine!

[Aidan Briggs]

Yup, the angle is a killer. Colors seem pretty overdone on my monitor. You handled the harsh light well.

[Tom Walters]

Sometimes they are just inconsiderate, flying the wrong way :) other than the angle its a nice shot, very striking colours, light very bright but agree well handled

[Tony Whitehead]

Lovely sharpness and BG - angle is the real disappointment - stunning bird.

[Dave Barnes]

You captured the detail well Jan, but I must agree on the angle and overdone colour.
