What an eventful day I had.. helicopters flying over my house all afternoon.. sirens blaring from the choppers and firebrigades... We had a massive bushfire where I live, this helicopter as well as a couple of others where flying over and dropping water onto the fire, this blue one saw me standing in the middle of my back garden trying to get a shot of them.. on the 5th fly over i think he took pity on me and actually slowed down right above me so i could get him... lol... I know its not a great shot, so any suggestions and comments would be appreciated..

Picture Purrrfect . A purrrfect world is what we all want, but, seems too unobtainable. If I've viewed and commented on your post, and you liked my remarks then NO THANKS is needed...just getting to see your wonderful work is thanks enough for me!! Also BIG thanks to all who check out my work!! I appreciate any and all comments & feedback!!

Looks like it might be distorted by the heat in the air, or maybe the smoke/ash? Unless you blew it up... but it doesn't look like normal pixelation to me. Puzzling. Nice shot anyway.
