Nice Pete
I suspect the shadow along the bottom is the car door? Reading above reminds me why I have a passion for nature photography. My special photos become my background wall paper on my computers changing every few minutes. Each time I see the photo again I relive the experiences and memories when I made the photo. Thanks for sharing.

Flutterby - just because I have a passion for nature photography does not mean I am good at it - I am very much still an amateur. That said when I get the time to set-up a hosting site and upload some of my images I will post some of my memories.

With Windows 8 and 10 it is built into the OS (just personalise your desktop settings) - with Win 7 you need a utility afaik
My main pc runs Win 7 with multiple monitors and I use an app called "Actual Windows Manager" - my laptops run Win 8.1 and Win 10. There are free apps to manage this as well
If you an Apple fan - please do not ask me

Ellies cover ground quickly ...This big bull was first sighted 300 metres from the car ambling towards me ...near Mopani Camp..Turned car sideways ...beanbag set up engine off and shot him many times as he approached ...Soon he was right there ..too late she cried ..Pull in the lens and white knuckles grip the steering wheel as he passed at the bonnet ..Love the big ellies
