Dear friends, I've been away during some days because of problems with my connection. It seems the problems are solved. Now, I need to update my critiques (be patient with me). It's great to be back.

As for the picture, when I took it, I thought about the moments before the "victim" was caught. These birds of prey can spot a meal from high up in the sky. At first, when I saw the bird, I couldn't see the lizard. I'd say it's a rather dramatic picture, but that's how life goes on, isn't it?

Hi Livio,

Excellent shot and well composed.
Though I would have changed POV on this one to see the face of the American Kestral.

Mike

Awesome picture, I like how the lizard is dangling off the pilar. I guess you meant to leave the contrast a little cloudy like that. Maybe to keep it all natural? :0)
Philip

Very nice shot livio, may be not easy to change your POV ... but agree with Mike: Face will have been better!
TFS, Laurent

These birds eyesights are amazing. You say the bird could see the lizard from so high up in the sky yet you didn't see the lizard at first. Survival of the fittest and fastest!
Great capture Livio, well shown and it is sharp and clear. Well done.

Hi Livio.

Great capture of a beautiful bird and what a dinner it has here. Very nice colours, great dof/sharpness and very good composition.

Hi Livio,
An excellent capture of nature in progress. Not always pretty, but necessary. I really like this one. Everything looks good, and it tells alot by looking at it. Nice job!

Hi Livio,
Great shot. I love the space you have left around your shot.
Your subject shows uup perfectly against the blue sky.
Great work
:)

Hi Livio,
Fantastic capture!
Good composed, great colour and details.
TFS!

Hi Livio

Excellent capture. A very large lizard. A good prize for the patient bird. Nicely seen and a perfectly composed shot. Thanks.

Looks like a Kestrel Livio, though I'm not sure what species you get in Brazil.
Good sharp image, though I'm not keen on the POV. Still its very detailed and shows nature in action.
Good to see you back again.
