    Great shot! Did you shoot this through glass though?

  • Suni Pruett

    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 Photography

    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

    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….
