Lovely shot. The eye is razor sharp and it's the first thing your eyes are going to in this picture.

Many thanks for your comments everybody.
I have to confess this is one image I hadn't even got round to look at until recently.
In fact I nearly overlooked it. Too much going on at the moment.
The eye is definately the real steal on this one and without it being so prominent the image would have not quite had the impact. Thanks again.

Stunner Major :toast: :toast:

wow ISO 500 and its still only at 1/60 :eek:

Thanks Justin and Alan pleased you got to see it.
I am amazed as well Alan but thats what the data said.
I am always baffled by some shots at far higher shutter speeds been off and yet on certain subjects I can get sharp images at really low SS. I guess it must be poor technique on the day. A lot of my images are from a vehicle and even the wind can be a problem and not get thought about.
