Very nice screen type effect there Joe. I have a very similar shot with a Swallow in the same position, showing the belly side and the head looking down. I'll send you a link to it. Interesting pose it is. Enjoying what you are doing Joe, very nice.

For some reason, I can't open your message or see anything when I click on your name. There is some quirk in the system. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks for sending the link, Danny. It's funny what you can capture when the "timing" is right, as you wrote. You never know what's in the "bin".

It never ceases to amaze me how acrobatic birds can be in mid air! Nicely done.

I always have to turn MY head upside down to comprehend this kind of shot! beautiful bird. Not so sure about the texture on this one. Perhaps use it as a background only-not on the bird?

I agree! Most of the texture comes from the fact that it's a shot of the screen on the back of the camera. I've been too lazy/busy to download my images for about 6 months now. Life is getting in my way at the moment. I need to edit about 2 TB of images at the moment. I hope to get started soon so that I'll have clean images to work with and post, especially the Otters. Thanks for your input.
