Fantastic bird in a really interesting setting on the termite mound Ken, only wish is if you could pull a bit more light out of it's eye.

A very cool bird with a superb perch and bg, Ken. I do wish you'd been lucky enough to get some light in the eye, but it's still a very impressive image.

A great bird in a great setting, Ken. Nice management of the light and the whites/blacks.

Very interesting bird nicely captured. Lovely colors and beautifully composed. I agree with Nate that a tad more light in the eye would be desirable, but a fine image as posted IMO Ken.

Thanks everybody, I agree that a bit more light in the eye would have improved this
