    Nice shooting, Knight.

    Very crisp and clean - you getting down low definitely helped this shot :thumbsup:

    I think I need a lot more practice in focusing on these chaps.

    Nicely taken and the eye level is terrific. If I tried that it would have flown :lol:

    Great shot Glenn of a wonderful bird, and i agree the angle at which you have captured it really makes a great shot.
