Very cool! Love the wing position, nose, and bright eye.
Nice detail in the fur and the skin, and the subtle greens in the BG add interest.
Great image!

Hi Charlie,
Lovely pose. First time I feel a bat is kind of cute! I'm glad the BG is not all black.

Hisham.

Even though this capture does not include the water behavior, I really like the quartering side pose, making it one of my favorites of your "bat series." Really really good, Charlie! Nice to see you posting here again.
