All four off the ground - what a shot, and what an experience to see this.

Maybe not a great shot (to you), but definitely a great experience. Don't forget, for most people in Europe (and USA as well I guess) these encounters are non-existing. If we are lucky (as I am) you can see deer, foxes, dolphins, wales and eagles in their environment but for many people it already is special to be eye-balled by a wasp.
Thanks for sharing these pictures and stories, really like them!

Coming to comment a bit late I fear - you have received many good comments already. The sharpness and clarity is amazing. I'm loving reading your exif - 800 ISO clearly is perfectly usable on your D7000. Anyhow, I do agree with the other commenters about the crop, whilst you lose a bit of detail in v2, you do get a better context

wonderful clarity. I'm thinking with a 70-200 you were actually quite close unless you had a Teleconverter or it's heavily cropped? Strike my comments, I now read other comments and your response :) The hide was in the water - oh boy. Lovely looking bird and the colours in this just pop.

Great shot overall, I love birds. Very nice balance of colors, with only the highlight on the bud just a tad too bright. I think a little heavy on the sharpening which works well on the leaves and the water, but is bordering on artefacts on the bird.

reminds me of a bus going down the road. Must be something to witness this. Thanks for the description to go with it.

Aw, geez, Harvey! My dog gets up to stuff like that. But a rhino? How cool is that?
