    A very nice image. I like the pop of red in the bug. I would like a bit more on top if you have it. Nice delicate perch and I like the spider web with the fluff caught in it. As mentioned, the whites on the tail are a bit hot.

    I like the pech, pose, background and the food item. It looks to me that South Africa alwas has great lighting for photography.

    Hi Arno, great IQ, and I like your comp. Overall, nice and sharp, great BG, and the colours on the shrike look great. His ladybird catch is a bonus.
