Beautiful pics Dan.
Maybe you should approach them from the other side

Or go to Dick on Aruba's website and read the interesting article there by Morris on how to sneak up on your prey!
Cheers,
Martin

These are really, really nice Danno.
Good light, great BG, nice manly perch, well composed, with beautiful color and detail.

#1 is my favorite of the two... but just barely.

Nice work buddy.

Real nice poses Dan and nice clean images. You may not have gotten you IF but I think you came away with two winners

Two fine images, Dan. Clean, well exposed, with natural looking colors and with a pleasing bg.

Nice captures, Dan. Unfortunately, under FM Rules, these do not qualify as "portraits".

Beautiful shots,Dan. but when I looked at the second one......OMG!
Turning its head 180 degrees is not everybody's cup of tea.
