Beautiful clean and detailed action shot - with of course the usual superb "Heath" trademark background.

ps - definitely worth clicking again to view at the higher resolution.

Many thanks for the kind comments, its one of the few shots taken in the middle of the afternoon, the air temp was cool, no wind and light cloud, meant that quite a few insects remained lethargic and I was able to get this shot.
