I think we've all tried this but when it works it looks pretty impressive, and boy this one is impressive. I like everything, the tiniest "fault" which is a pretty harsh thing to say is tat the tail is a little soft, but for me that is one fine image, I have not managed one in this style to have come close to this.

Thanks Jonathan, The thing that bothers me the most is how you can see the tail. I wish it was behind the perch this guy is on. This was as close as i could get to that.

Hi John,
Love those sharp eyes popping out from both sides of the grass. The tail doesn't bother me. Nice one.
