I really like the setting, the green foliage with the reddish flanks works nicely. There are some sharpness issues, noted mainly at the most enlarged view.

A really good look at the towee. I like the composition and surrounding habitat. Exposure looks really good. I agree with Allen. I am not sure why but detail and sharpness are a bit off.

Thank you for your comments. Sharpness issues maybe do to my trying to hand hold the 800mm at too low a shutter speed. The lens is light and easy to hold, I just need to use at least a monopod with it. Thanks again.
