This is much better Nico! Lovely crisp capture - and just to clarify, the filter you had applied on the first version didn't blur the bird did it? While the bird's pose in the first version was a tad more dramatic, the sharpness here is preferred. Oh, and thanks for the lat and long; it's always fun to look and see where our friends are and Google Earth makes it so much so. I just copy and pasted the coords you so thoughtfully provided.
