Nice image but it lacks a bit of sharpness. Also the large Copyright symbol spoils the image somewhat.

Agree with Rene.

But its still a great shot, plus its unique with him having his foot up like that.

Look forward to seeing the others from the series :toast:

A really first class pose you've caught here and very well exposed.
What a great oppurtunity and on such a photogenic perch too.

Wow, I really like this - the pose, the light, the colour and all with such an elusive specie. Just want to add a bit USM. :toast:
