[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This beautiful bird is fairly abundant in the Pilansberg National Park. When the males fight they sometimes lock on to each other and fall out of the sky in a rolling motion from there the name. They are magnificant and the colors when in flight even more beautiful.

Hello Andre,
These birds are really beautiful and you've captured it well. I like the POV and framing a lot. Nice lighting too.
WELL DONE!
PS.I took a look at your gallery. You said you like to share your work with others. TN is a good place then, but if you post so many pictures and others spent their time looking at them and writing comments it would've been fair to do the same. That's what TN is all about. I hope you don't mind this little observation.

Hi Andre

A littled rushed this moring, so just a quick visit. Enough time to see that this is a well composed shot, with very good light and details. Good colour and POV. :-)

Hello Andre,
a very nice shot, a beautiful pose to enjoy this beautiful bird. It stands out nicely from the back ground. POV and sharpness are good. Well composed.

Hi Andre,
good close up of this nice bird. Well composed. A bit soft in focus and noisy. I prepare a WS, you must wait for tomorrow

Hello Andre, nice shot. I like these birds alot, they have great colours. The composition is good but I think the picture could be a little sharper and there seems to be quite alot of noise in the BG, you can easily go some way to remove this. Well done.
