I just want to say thank you to evryone on the forum, as i have learnt so much fom being a part of this great community. I mean, i used colse up filters for this shot, and before i joined i didnt even know what close up filter was. lol.

Great shot Nathan. Ordinarily, you would say it is too central, but this is perfect. The wings screaming away there at full speed carry the image well. Nice and sharp too. Look out gang if this fella' gets a macro lens!
Good stuff mate.

Well done Nathan! Beautiful image! Can I make one suggestion? Your signature block is very distracting. Knock it back a little because with imagery like that you don't have to scream your name.
