      Brilliant capture Morkel! Love the action in this and beautiful exposure. Nitpicking a tad more space for the tail on top to enhance the energy in this? Lovely image!! ------------------------------ Jaco

      Thanks for all the very kind comments. JVW - don't you think I too would like more space on top? I had to rotate it a bit and lost some space at the top.
