Lovely shot C. The textures of coat, tail and bark you got well. Luck you - it stood still long enough to capture it. I saw one on the ground today - nothing like the quality of environment; didn't stay still; no camera!! boohoo. Can't do the shot justice (consider it well composed) because have to scroll it - can you suggest solution? Maybe you will mount it elsewhere for better viewing as you have some other postings.

I only managed to get one shot. I knew it was going to move off. I really needed to switch to ISO400 from ISO200, but I just didn't dare move. Shows how brilliantly observant I am - it was only when I put the shot in Photoshop that I realized he had a massive conker on his mouth!

Hey Manipulator, You have obviously not watched superman.

Quote from film: A good photographer eats and sleeps with his camera, not saying you're not a good photographer, but I am sure you get my gist.

My camera is never more than twenty feet away from me.
