awesome bird shot dude

lovely shot!!!

Great job David. The kestral is one of my favorite birds. I have gotten a half dozen or so kestral shots, but have not gotten one yet that I can say I’m proud of. Very difficult bird to stalk/photograph which is unfortunate since it is so photogenic. To get this shot of one in flight is pretty amazing to me and you did a very nice job of it!!

This is a wonderful shot…favorite!

Oh man -this is stunning. You must have the patience of Job (along with a rather big dose of skill). Tremendous feeling of power.

Wow, he’s looking right at you. Amazing shot!

Congrats For being in the top 10 in the A Beautiful Blur Challenge

Stunning capture David.

My pleasure David, that’s wonderful, the Kruger starts to ‘green’ up over December as it receives summer rainfall, makes game more difficult to spot as the grasses are longer and the bush more dense but nevertheless it’s going to be a memorable experience for you.

Well done, David, brilliant capture!

Fantastic shot…...........and congrats

Leo
