Thanks, Ted, for your kind words.  

I had chosen to travel light, as the was a family holiday.  Thus the 400 
Telyt was replaced by the Vario Elmar and my trusty old 2x converter. 
The 400 is a LOT easier to hand hold that the Vario/2x combo, IMHO, so 
my failure rate from camera shake was much higher than normal.

The other surprising bit is how dark it was in a tropical jungle at 2 PM 
in the afternoon!  The shot was made wide open (OK - f8) at 1/250th, 
using ISO 3200!  Use of such shutter speed only compounded the 
challenge.  That's why I do not consider myself  "good", but rather, 
"lucky".

Thanks for looking.
