Nice sharp shot, looks like you were very close and the flash has blended in quite well.

I was about 5 foot away trying to stop myself falling of a branch, and doing all this hand held at the same time.

The original shot was meant to be a landscape shot, which would of been fine as there was a treehouse in the tree. But when I found the nest with the chicks I just took a pic and got down as fast as possible so as not to upset them to much.

The last time I climbed a tree to photograph some chicks I ended up with a restraining order!

Well there is a nudist beach not far from my house, I was wondering if I could get away with the excuse of "I'm only doing some seascape photography" with the wife........

I was half way up a tree when I spotted this.
All comments would be great.
