Very nice - the angle looks really low, is this an illusion caused by the focal length or had you crawled under the hide :biggrin:

Excellent - they don't come much better than this. My only suggestion would be to clone out the daisy on the LHS - it's very slightly distracting. But that's just a minor nit.

Great shooting.

Hi Gary it was standing on a bank so when you look out of the hide I was in it was almost at eye level and yes the lens dose help with the shooting angle.
