Hi Jam, Love this shot. This is a perfect example of one of those times when it is best to ignore the rule of thirds. PERFECTION!!! If it was my photo I would have it enlarged and on my wall. The only thing I might change is that I would rotate it 90 degrees to the right and hang it as a portrait. It would look like a totem pole. There is an animals face at the top and just below that is a very strange animal with wings and long green legs and feet. Love it. Art

Blimey Art, are you on something? ........ Can I have some?

A fine shot indeed Jamie. As Art says keeping the split in the middle of the frame is just right for this one. The dramatic sky and it's reflection gives an almost vertigo effect. Like it, good stuff.
