I really like the second shot Kenny! The white markings down the sides almost make it appear like a chrome plated abdomen with the background you have.

Nice catch, Kenny. I like the second image as well - it appears to be a little sharper than the first.

Thanks, Jimmy. Yeah, these little female meadowhawks are a pretty species and, in my opinion, the females are prettier than the males.
