Don't think I've ever seen this PoV of a Shelley before Alan - nice cap

It looks at tad soft around the head and tack sharp at the wings so it seems like you ran out of DoF.

Do you have another from the burst of shots with head in focus - perhaps you could matte them.

Hi Alan,

Cracking shot! Love it! I agree with Andy though about the head being slightly out of focus – shame as it’s a cracking shot! Love the touch down!
