Image captured in my back garden, I still feel could be better but getting there. The problem is that there is no way of predicting which way the damsels fly in or out, I watch to see a pattern or at least a perceived pattern only to find they then contradict it when I fire the shutter. I probably shot around 2,000 images to get this one.

The capture is astounding. I love the leaf. The fasst that the face is sharp iss remarkable. Two things bug me (sorry for the pun ...) First is the heliccopter winbg position ... Next are the dark tones at the top of the fraame. Here's to the next 2000 tries.
with love, artie
