Beautiful composition, Nico. Interaction has been captured perfectly. Light is not from where you would like but superb job with the hand you were dealt with. Good call on the f-stop.

Nico,

Awesome action, F10 really helped keep the important details sharp. As Kaustubh mentions, good job with the less than ideal light.

I really like the cool gray BG and the perch is very cool and interesting!

What was the correct SS?

[Stu Bowie]

Good timing Nico, and typical interaction trying to share the same perch.

[Tony Whitehead]

Excellent interaction, Nico. Typical Mankwe perch and BG. Looks nice and sharp and I would love to see this bigger. If inclined you could repair the tail of the bird on the right. Well done.
