Thanks SG. He was hiding behind this huge plant and this is the best shot I could get of it, but it actually came out kind of nice :)

I like how the foreground is blurred plant and the background is focused on the wing. I was a bit irritated that I couldn't get a full shot of him, but it turned out okay :)

Toto- I was saying "who" (you know like an owl), not asking a question ;~) But somehow... I think you already knew that.
