Your ability to capture animals in regal poses is excellent and the clarity takes a back seat to none.....

This is a beautiful picture Gerry ... could be used in a "Guidebook". I don't know what exactly you did in the enhancement, but the lighting is first rate professional work. Great job my friend ... take a bow.
