:eek: A Godwit.....really:eek: Hungry bird I guess. Did you get any images before this frame? I think you could crop in a little to give it some more impact. Great colours and exposure, well done
If you got them, I think this would be nice as a tryptich of a few frames. The location looks nice, though it obviously makes separating the bird from background a challenge. Must have a been a surprise to see!
Prey aside, I really like the setting of this image...the soft greens with the yellow flowers has a nice feeling and takes me right there. As already stated, it would be great to see more of this moment.
