Nice pose, and I love the background color. HAP will probably be on to you, since it looks like the head is turned slightly away. Could have wished for faster SS, but shooting in the dark woods is tough to get the light you need.

Hi Roy - like the BG colour and have not done too bad considering the SS - Looks sharp.

IMHO - Ha doesn't bother me too much as the hole his is working on is also visible - Senior members of the HAP may well disagree.
Get the feeling that his tail might be clipped at the bottom :)

Keep em coming :)

Thanks Bill, this was taken about 6:30 PM so I was happy how sharp it came out.

Thanks Lance, I think you may be right.:D I have a better one with better HA and no quite a nice BG
