      Awesome shot that just keeps raising the standard on ODP! The comp is superb, and IMHO the best of the last few you posted.
      So where does this leave the rest of us??
      Agree with Izak,s comments.

    1. I think it leaves us something to work to....we should achieve this level of greatness probably by the year 2088.

      I always struggle to find appropriate words to comment on Mr. van Rooyen's superb avian photography.
