Nice Image and better still when taking into account that it was captured with a normal lens.

  Thanks, Felix. The image doesn’t have the definition that is possible with my macro lens.

  Thanks very much, Hutch. It’s not always necessary for wildlife images to be pin sharp; it’s more of a personal preference.
