Thanks. I didnt even notice the detail in the photo until afterwards when cropping and taking a much closer look...such as the two little claws hanging on to the plant in a sideways manner. The bird was quite small (roughly 100mm long), kept moving and wouldnt allow the fotografeur to get too close. Photo taken at 105 mm focal length with the 24 to 105mm lens, on 5d Mk2. ISO 400, F4, 1/500th sec. Puppy photo taken at night with 1100D, 24 to 70mm lens on an "indicated" 43 mm focal length, ISO 400, F2.8, 1/60th sec and flash with no exposure bias.
