I had to laugh at the humor in this shot, John. You cropped it out very nicely, and got a sharp, colorful image that is a joy to view!

Thanks Mike, I added a lot of vibrancy as well as cropping, because Siskin are such vibrant little birds and I just wanted to show off all that colour. :)

Wow great. How far away were you? Using a flash extender?

At a guess, maybe 5 or 6 metres away, (15-20 feet) and just the bare flash - a Canon Speedlite 600 EX RT as the bird was in deep shade under the canopy of trees.

Cheers

Dennis

Absolutely wonderful, Shalu!! I really love this shot. By the way...it's illegal to hunt Black necked stilts, so it had to be you, pointing a big camera at them.:-P:lol:
