Very nice photograph - I like the pose and the exposure and focus are good - Smile you are on candid camera

I hope you are listening to this, but you look remarkably relaxed, considering you needed to hit the shutter release, rush to get that cup and strike a pose

Nice to meet you.

hi

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't see how you could achieve such an acute angle in the zoomed-in shot given the camera's low platform angle in the distant shot, unless the zoomed-in shot was not taken at the same location as the distant shot? Just IMHO.

I looked at your High Res, and the image you see here, has been upsampled. Upload a larger image and you will avoid this.

The version you see here has been downsampled, so they often look soft. By the way, a samll border is allowed between the photos, but we NEVER allow a border around the photo.

Congrats

Lovely !

Very nice looking photograph, it is very well focused.

The composition and exposure are well done nut the focus is a little off. In Macro or close up photography it is important to get the main subject in focus.

great sharp .. good details on the skin. I like that shades of green.

nice...

Nice, but a little OOF

I see a lot of jagged edges - you may be better served to replace the photo with a version that has no or very little HDR effects it would probably look more realistic.

Good one.

Very nice - I like the bright colors.

The composition is nice, however something looks weird with the postprocessing.

Very nice photograph and very nice point of view. The focus is spot on.

waw.....

Very nice, I like the details of the bird.

Very nice.

This is really nice, very well composed and the focus is excellent.

Such a nice smile for the camera! Nice shot.

You can get a lot closer when they're dead (Nice shot, though)

wow, thats a closeup!

For sure there is a dead bird under the predator's talons. Great capture... unless you convinced the falcon to pose for you. Well done, author

and, he's got feathers in his beak. Great shot. maybe just a little closer crop?

really nice.......

Wow ! Great shot ! It's nice you let a part of the "ground" above to keep to this picture a part of reality.
(But, just to be finical, I would have straighten it a little bit ... Anyway : Amazing picture !!!)

That's a really beautiful fire shot.
