    Hi Ray

    Nice urban shot, good exp, composition and details.
    It's a lovely species, I'd be interested in the EXIF on this if you want to PM it.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Nice capture. A bit over sharpened and too much contrast imo :D
