Not the easiest of species to get a clean shot off, and you have done exceptionally well here.

more of an observation than a crit, but perhaps f5.6 or even f4 might have worked better, in order to throw out the BG a tad more.

Excellent shot, well seen and worked.

Hello Phil.

Just come back form camping in Wales with the kids, and there were plenty of these were I was staying. And beleive me I really tried to get a shot of one of these and it just would not happen.

So well done on getting a really nice enviroment shot.

Nice work Phil, they are difficult to get in this 'Classic' pose and you've captured it very well.
