    I like this! The engraver has a good feel for the subject. Certainly made me think of a
    Marsh Harrier - hovering over a reed bed - about to drop like a stone on some poor frog.

    It was a bit of a play on words, the eagle is on the attack and it is from Hungary.....little humor there.....very littleimage

    Teg Thanks for the photo - it really shows that the artist got it right.
