Hi Jeroen,

The colour of the subject is superb and really stands out against the BG. It's razor sharp with a great composition.

Nice shot

Regards

Rob

Nice one Jeroen, found one of these at Wicken Fen but failed to get an image... Rob will attest to that

Perhaps the saturation is a tad high here but that is minor...
