I had the same problem trying to get a picture of some seagulls the other day. Why can't they just cooperate? They are almost as bad as kids! LOL! Interesting shot, though.
@apogee2012 There is a ballet dancer in China (in 1970s cultural revolution time) she thought exactly the same way as you. When Mao came to view the performance, she modified the dance sequence on the spot – instead of sticking her head out behind a tree, she showed her beautifully positioned feet first – You know what? She never allowed dancing again – the communists just don’t get the point.
