wow, this is truly a unique capture. excellent work. i love the juxtaposition of the intense action in your subject with the peaceful ambivalence in the background. i hope this is not being overlooked in this monster challenge, and that it is getting the attention it deserves. good luck here, and in the challenges yet to come!

A lovely example of bokeh. Enough clarity in the background for the detail to engage the viewer, while still making the midground subjects leap off the image.

I think the only thing I would ask is a little more space between the third bird and the edge of the image: rather than being part of the triad, he seems left behind, as the edge pulls at him.

Beautiful work.

Awesome picture! I love taking pictures of wildlife, and I'd kill to have a picture like this in my collection! Good luck.

This is a wonderful capture of a great moment and from that perspective, as a wildlife addict, I find it both charming and fascinating. Photographically I think the impact is marred by the gazelles just behind which muddy the lines a little too much. I appreciate fully that, one a safari holiday, one doesn't often have the luxury that wildlife photographers have of moving to a better position.
