Good use of shallow DOF to create an interesting background which contrasts nicely with the sharpness of the foreground

Beautifully crisp with superb use of shallow DOF to create a background "curtain".
One of the best bird shots I`ve seen on this site.

"Just a weed"...how dare you sir, this is a national symbol of my country...we meet at dawn, choose your weapons !!!!

Before I remove your head with my claymore..I might as well say that you made a very good job of portraying this wonderful plant :)

Seriously..nice work Tom, thought I had commented on this at the time and was surprised to see I hadn`t.
