PERFECT! Couldnt say more than that... I love the sharpness.. and the flies all add to how well U look at things... The PP is just great... A close-up always adds value... Thanks for sharing...

Take care...

Wow, warm and cute ( when he already had his dinner...) Great cropping, sharpness okay, really nice and even original, Jim !

I love close ups and this one is phenominal! The flies look like a formation of the "Blue Angels" awaiting clearance to take off! I know that flies can be a real annoyance to animals. Perhaps this is why they have those long tails! Thanks for this well detailed illustration.

Really nice portrait of the big cat Jim. Great composition and very effective lighting.

Wow, fantastic capture very good detail and composition. Magnificent colors and lighting. Bravo!
