Phil as you point out a large crop but I do like the overall image with the bird that does look as though it as got its eye on something. :wavey:

Hi Paul yes leighton moss, Bob I should have put the 2x on but you know how it is the crop is only a bit less than the 1.5 in camera crop mode hear is the full frame image to have a look at.
