    Great angle and good crop on the first one Sherwood,

    Unfortunately, it looks like the focus didn't quite 'get' the eyes, but that's hardly surprising with a black eyes, in a black head, coming towards the camera at a 'rate of knots'

    If I'd shot this, I'd definitely invest some Post Processing (PP) time on it to selectively increase the Local Contrast and also sharpen the eye and head.

    Well captured, Dave

    Great shot. Literally a "capture" and at a unique angle. Conjures "ducking for a goose". I think worth the suggestions in Dave's post - worth all the polish you can give it.

    Now I know what the image looks like in proper overview format...Thanks. It is a unique angle. However you did it, it becomes very good at this stage.
