The Wagtail and the Wasp

* Sigh * if only i had a 800mm lens and x1.4TC this shot could have been alot clearer. It was taken with my 100-400L at a distance of around 30 or 40 meters away from the subject (see original below). I had to enlarge the image to 3 times it's original size using Genuine Fractals 6 Pro, then crop it to what you see before you. I didn't even know that wasps were on a Pied Wagtails menu!! My favourite part of the shot is how the wasp is in a vertical position like it's had to stop in mid-flight due to a giant winged creature coming at it with intentions of making a meal out of it.
