Just brilliant & of such an important species :toast: :toast:

Well framed, great detail, colours & a good catchlight & habitat. That was a mouthful :biggrin:

a lovely shot Major, very well composed. Could maybe benefit from a slight levels lift?

I like it Major, processing suits the type of conditions it was shot in, and the crop works for me too, losing any from the bottom would encroach on the 'virtual' tail behind the OOF foreground. Spot-on work.
