As this was shot during the dry season, most of the shrubs were devoid of leaves. As a result it did not have enough cover and I was able to see through the thicket.<br /><br />Hi Rainfield,<br />Yep, that's what I did. If the eye is not sharp it usually ends it the bin, in my case.Amila Salgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607756343837325575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-82866863138649122562009-10-20T19:49:06.487+05:302009-10-20T19:49:06.487+05:30You should have focused at her eye.
