Love the shallow depth of focus, the background, the sharpness of the bird, the great light on the bird and its placement to the left.

Cool composition, Mario. The use of light is very nice.

I like the way the Oxpecker is sitting, Mario, but do wish the large oof area weren't in the foreground.

Love it Mario - particularly the way it's peeking over the buffalo's back
