the over exposed area on the head and beak take away from a other wise excellent capture

The subject seems to be out of focus.

Not a very good day for the lizard, the the bird of prey looks quite satisfied! Good capture!

6 - Good capture, looks natural too. Think I can even decipher the head. Apologies in advance if wrong, but this shot looks like it has more potential (pp) than has been achieved. Obviously quality dependent, but perhaps a slightly tighter crop, slight variation in composition to allow for more dominance and possibly selective sharpening/contrast/dodge etc, may have given this a little more 'drama'.
