Stuart, that is one phenomenal image! The detail from top to tip is fantastic. Your BG and composition couldn't be better. Now...what do we suppose is that black drop at the end of it's tail? I'd love to know!

Really Stuart - this has to be one of the best DF shots of the year. So tell me...how do you like your 100-400 lens? I've been drooling over one for the past couple of months. Should I buy it? After seeing this image I'm thinking the answer is YES!

A lovely image - sharp thru' out & with excellent smooth bokeh. Might provide wee bit of space at the bottom of the frame - but that's a personal choice.

This is one stunning DF and image, I am really jealous these guys do not fly over here.
