Love that intense stare, well captured.

Wow that eye is really an attention-getter. Very nicely done. I wish for a bit more at the top -- it seems as if the bird were to straighten up he would run out of space

This is awesome, Haim! Great bird and perch. I love the stare of that red eye. The bloody prey is like icing on the cake. Very well done! Did you get any others where the birds body is more sideways to you, but the bird still staring at you? A pose more sideways would have allowed more of the bird to be visible and in focus. I think it's awesome as presented though.

Thank you Jim.
I have only 2 pictures from that scene and this one is the second. After that he just flew away.:(

A great shot as mentioned. The eye is too saturated for me though.
