    Unusual image indeed - GBH's have a never-ending repertoire of poses! I kinda wish the nictitating membrane was not closed, but I realize that is what they do when shaking their heads like this. Good comp, and the flying drops are neat.

    Nice action and pose John! I like the feathers on the neck a lot.
