Hi Daniel,

Great interesting shot of this Goshawk. The pose on the big branch is wonderful and the colors and background are okay.

Hello Daniel,
Very good one..
Was the vehicle's engine turned off? I suppose so..
Wonderful perch.
Didn't notice this Melierax canorus in South Africa.
Well done

Hi Daniel

Great shot of this beautiful raptor. Good pose of him cleaning his bill.
Good sharpness and well composed.

Daniel,

A little unusual to have a Goshawk on a branch like that near water. You would normally expect to see a heron or darter there!

Well composed pic. The DOF, BG, POV, sharpness, detail and lighting are all very good.
TFS,
Sheriff

Hallo Daniel,
Als roofvogelliefhebber trof ik deze foto van jou. Fantastisch zoals deze Bleke Zanghavik er op staat. Ik heb ze zelf in Afrika ook gezien, maar heb ze nooit zo mooi kunnen fotograferen. Goede scherpte en prachtig contrasterende kleuren tegen de achtergrond. Mooie compositie. Kom zo nog terug voor een andere foto.
Groet,
Peter
