    Excellent image Ken! I like the eye contact and feather patterns this underside image shows. I would crop in from the top and right a little.

    Gorgeous raptor. I just love the way he has cocked his head and is looking right at you!

    Great capture and excellent details, Ken. That head turn and eye contact really makes this one.

    Thanks everybody for your kind comments, shooting almost directly overhead was a little difficult, but worth it. This Martial had previously stooped onto a large flock of Guinea Fowl (no images), knocked one down flown off with it and then did not kill it
