Your bird/animal shots are super, Fanie -- wonderful detail and color and the composition and expression here are terrific. This would be great for one of those calendars or books where they have animals saying something -- I can think of lots of fun ways to go with it.

  It's such an impressive shot. Even with your amazing 500. You nail the shots every single time Fanie. I suppose you still had to shoot very close to get this and wow, no tags on the legs (wild). Absolutely wonderful timing to show them in a sort of conference. Are they talking about you?
