Charles Dobbs ...
Great shot! Did you shoot this through glass though?
Suni Pruett
No…I was standing on the porch right next to them hiding out so they couldnt see me..why do you ask?
Charles Dobbs ...
I just see what looks like glare on the right side, so thought it was from a window. Must be from something else.
Suni Pruett
I think its from a piece of wire….and thats the part of this picture that I am not happy with..that and the blur on the edge of the wings….
