Hej Micke,
So you've had a nice break away - very wise and I bet you've got lots of nice shots to show us. This is certainly a great start!! Lovely view of this beautiful Shrike with the long tail in its beak. I like its pose and the smooth background makes it really stand out. Brilliant shot!
Many thanks and cheers, Ulla

Hej Micke!
Jaså du har varit på Fuerteventura!
This is an excellent capture of the endemic Canary Southern Great Grey Shrike with a captured lizard tail.
Technically fantastic and a great POV and pose. Into my favorites!
An extraordinary capture and thanks for sharing it!
Hälsningar,
Ivan

Ser fram emot dine bilder, främst på Kragtrapp och den endemiska buskskvättan!

På lördag ska vi till Mallorca men det blir en vecka bara så 500 bilder blir det inget snack om!

Hi Mikael.
Once more outstanding by subject and quality shot. I am impressed with all components of true photo art. Terrific image of the bird with food in the beak. Wonderful dry twig and of course, superb smooth colourful BG. Shot is composed by the best way too. My congratulations and TFS. Brilliant job.

Hello Mikael,

I can imagine it will be a lot of work to sort out all these 500 shots you've made at Fuerteventura.
If all images are as great as the one you are showing us here, you must have had the time of your life and a superb completion on your already fantastic portfolio.
Perfect composition, DOF, sharpness and exposure.
Great details and very beautiful contrast.
Wonderful pose of the bird and soft color tones in the BG.
Excellent work. A real joy to look at. TFS!!!

Warm regards,

Harry

Hi Mikael,
Wonderful shot of this Shrike with a mouthful. Pity about that owner of the tail. Immaculate sharpness and colours on its plumage and I like the way it lokks at you over the shoulder. Excellent DOF isolates it from the BG and a well chosen POV to portray it. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

What a stunning shot, Mikael!!!!
Hopefully the lizard's escape mechanism worked! :-)
Incredible sight of this Shrike and a lizard's tail... I bet there are very few photos like this and even less that are as technically superb!
Very good lighting and excellent exposure.
Superb DOF and a perfectly blurred BG.
Brilliant composition.
Stunning work!
Straight into my favourites :-D

TFS!!

Great shot of this Shrike Mikael. Great lighting and focus. We have a slightly smaller Northern Shrike where I am in Ontario, Canada. He looks very similar. I'm surprised he'd eat a lizard tail. Maybe it's a love gift for it's mate. The DOF works well here and you managed to get a catch-eye look from him. Just a great shot! TFS Trevor
