This Verreaux's Eagle Owl had caught some poor bird and all that was left was a bit of thigh and leg. The foot hanging down reminded me of a talisman and I suspect in societies that fear or are superstitious regarding owls this would not be a good omen.

Nice shot Eric. I feel I'd rather see this one in color. I find that the owl is lost in the background and it was hard to even make out the dangling foot.

Great detail Eric,

Can you use the green channel differently in your mix to get better subject separation?

Looks good to me, sort of a "picture find" challenge.
Actually I like this in B&W (did I really say that). It shows you the difficulty most prey have in seeing their attacker when it is still in the trees.
