Thats a striking looking KF, and great to capture it with a prey item in it's beak. I think the image can stand a little more sharpening and maybe a little off the top to aid the comp.

Nice one, Keith.

Amazing close up of bird and bug. Unfortunately it seems that your point of focus was the back instead of the head area. Well worth the effort to try using selective focus to even out the dof.

Agree with others here - there's also an arrow shape with a couple of dots under it that keeps drawing my eye.

Great bird, beautifull colour and lighting.You may not have achieved maximum sharpness but this is one of those pictures that works very well regardless.

Hello Keith

Thats a lovely looking bird and you have caught a really nice pose. The fact that it has got prey takes it up another notch.
