    Have been inactive on BPN for a while.I visited Giant's Castle last week and managed to capture this sub - adult in glorious morning light.

    f/7.1
    1/2500
    ISO 800
    EC + 1/3
    Cropped allround
    Shot from a hide.
    Would be interested to hear comments re comp in this case

    Hi Arno,
    I do love this bird, the definition, colors, exposure, BG, head angle, for me everything is perfect.

    Sweet ventral view showing off some awesome "rugged" looking plumage!!

    I like the soft, spilt background. Gives a sense of habit. I'm guessing the upper portion is a mountain?

    Very nice Arno. Everything works together very nicely here. As for your specific question, I think the comp is fine as is...

    Hi Arno, looks like GC was kind to you. Great flight pose, tack sharp, and I like the overall light and colours in the image. Well captured.

    Thank you ,Chris .Yes ,the bg is the backdrop of the mountain , in this case the Drakensberg mountain range of Kwazulu Natal.The hide sits above the valley which is patrolled by these magnificent birds.
