    Too cool Alan.The moss on the perch is great as well as the look and that fanned tail.

    Wonderful shot. Love the diagonal comp, the perfect timing just before touchdown, and the signature tufts flying in the breeze.

    Excellent timing, and very well exposed. Overall, a well balanced comp too.
