Oops perhaps not ready for take off then:) I did wonder if that was his mouth and if it was not quite right. It wasn't dead as was still moving wings etc but didn't seem able to fly hence I was able to get this shot.

I'm half asleep, didn't drink my caffeine yet. And when I first looked at this I saw his "tilted" head and a big open mouth grin on his "face". LOL. Excellent detail.

Nicely stopped motion and good detail in the wings, although there's what looks like a bit of blur from the ambient light mixing with the flash (or it could be from HDR processing?)
