Nice capture of a bird seldom seen in Kruger. Composition and detail are really good. TFS.

Paul,

A rare sighting. You don't often get good pics of these birds in Kruger. The composition, DOF, POV, Sharpness and clarity of the image are excellent.
TFS,
Sheriff

Hi Paul,

A very fine shot with striking sharpness and beautiful framing of the subject. It looks like a really handsome bird. My compliments for the fantastic background too.

Best regards.

Hello Paul,
The first time I was in South Africa these birds of prey fascinates me. They got something special. Later on I didn't see them anymore. So I didn't have a good photo of them. This one is really great. Excellent in sharpness, details, colours and composition. The green BG contrasts very well. Perfect POV.
Regards,
Peter
