Deserved all the awards Al, such fine detail captured here and good bg too. I was shocked you managed to get such fine detail with the 55-250mm IS lens. Just goes to show how skillful you are Al.

Simply stunning work Al. I've clearly been neglecting the site as I wasn't aware that you had taken this shot. It ss one of the best I have ever seen of such a creature. Pin sharp and with so much detail. Thoroughly deserving of all the awards. Well done indeed.
