I like everything about this, Saw one couple of days ago but nowhere near close enough. Perch is pretty special too.

Great shot Gary. The whites look a little blown, but it's a small nit. :toast:

Very photogenic composition Gary....................agree with Daniel regarding the whites, but hopefully a small tweak can restore some fine detail in those areas :toast:
