Congratulations, KK

I know how long you have been trying to get this shot and how difficult it is to get that close

Unbelievable!

Someone must be holding the bird for you while you made that shot. Thats why you have cropped out its lower body... ;D ;D ;D

Congradulations for yet another great shot!!! 8)
These two are the most detailed and best images of BFS I have ever seen! ;)

I admire your imagination or humor, Angus! ;D

The first shot was originally horizontal cropped into vertical to focus on the super bill as presented :)
While the second one is full frame without any cropping at all ...
