Eastern Pheobe South Texas
D1X, 600/4.

Not exactly a flight shot and not exactly a perched shot. :)

There's something in the way he's looking at the camera, that makes me think that he was showing off. :)

Hi Alan, I really enjoyed viewing this image, I bet it's trying to pull attention away from your perch :D

Alan,

Neat shot. I like the motion implied by the slight blur in the feet.

Alan,
I'm surprised you failed to recognize a prime example of Phoebe levitation. I guess that's why they say you have to know the species you are shooting. (And a superb shot it is too.)

Alan,

Is your shutter too loud? Unusual hip hop step.

Jim
Enjoy viewing
