Secretary Bird

All critiques/comments are appreciated. If you find this

photography worth a low rating, please take the time to let me know

what could be done to improve it. Thanks.

I don't rate photos any longer, but I would suggest the following alternatives: 1) make the bird a larger part of the image by zooming/moving closer; 2), eliminate a good portion of the out-of-focus foreground; 3) wait until the bird is not facing away from the camera so much; and 4) include a more dramatic sky (not much one can do about that except try again during another part of the day or, more likely, on a different day). You're fortunate to be in this part of the world for these images and experiences.
