Flying fox in the late afternoon sun :) Those of you who know me, know I have a soft spot for these guys.

I like it Narelle - he's really scoping you out but I reckon they all know you by now so he's probably not too concerned.

Can you tease some more detail from the areas in shadow? I'd like to see some more of that gorgeoue little face. Also, the purplish tinge fringing the top OOF branches - perhaps an adjustment via the LENS tab in Camera Raw?

Picky bugger aren't I?!

I agree, a little more detail in the shadow would be good, but I really like the framing and eye contact in this one. Great pic.

Interesting to read they're causing havoc in Murwillumbah at the moment, stinking residents out of their homes!

These are cute creatures...

Hmmm, the blue fringe down the bat's right side (our left side) catches the eye, assumedly due to contrast along the edge??? Worth a play with the RAW file as Simon mentioned... Either that or maybe just clone along the edge with some blue sky that's just beside the blue fringe?

Great framing too, good catch... He (or she?) does seem to be keeping an eye on you :)

Another good catch... :)

Thanks guys - and very nice capture Shane !!!
I had thought about bringing out some more detail from the shadow, but this was the look I was going for - light on one side, and detail in the eye.....
I'll have another look.
Thanks again :)
