66504239-M.jpgthis would have been a seller if i had been able to focus a little faster and pressed the shutter about .25 of second faster-anyway it still gives a good underside view even though its partially out of frame-check the shoulders and forearm muscles!

    fascinating from a structural point of view
    May be missing a few bits, but beautiful depiction of the animal's structure - fingers, etc. Very cool !!!

    lightning arrestors
    glad you like it-the 'lightning arrestors' are ,what once would have been thumbs-they have evolved into sharp hooks which are used to climb trees and as a weapon against other flying foxes

    Greg,

    I hope you don't mind, but these are very symmetrical creatures:

    ziggy, you are a legend
    well done ziggy-of course i don't mind-if my stock agency agrees I will clone in the same manner and see whether they can sell it.

    thanks for the idea
