Nice detail and feeding action. I would crop this, maybe 15-20% on the left and 5-10% on the right.

Amazing how the prey's colors mimic the rock's! A fine image with nice details, an excellent perch and bg. You even got the "horns" up! Well done. Sharon

Nice feeding action and detail. I like the color palette for the bird, perch and BG.

Excellent, Basri. Great head turn and a beautiful perch and bg. I like the way the colors of the bug match the lichen on the rock.

Love the shot with the lichen on the log and the bug in his mouth. :toast:
