Hi Andy,

Good action shot. A little bit more space at the bottom might improve it a bit, as the reflection is cut in half.

Cheers,

Dan.

Now come on fella - tell the truth - you were convinced that the squirrels had run off and buried them :biggrin: :biggrin:

Cracking shot matey - made me laugh as soon as it opened on my screen :toast: :toast:

If there's no more image top or bottom I might be tempted to crop this to a tight portrait :wink:

Nice exposure control too :wavey:

Great action shot. You did very well on the exposure as it can be very hard as soon as they open there wings. Very well done.
