I caught this guy with the the light hitting him in just the perfect maner. As soon as I pressed the shutter he was up and gone. Sometimes we just have to be thankful for good fortune.

The reflection is a nice leading line to the bird. The lighting is captivating and your treatment of the background works very well in this image.

I am wondering though, what this would look like if it was cropped in the portrait style?

just a few of my thoughts...

I'm lovin' it. Perfect just the way it is with the natural surroundings. The AYES have it.

Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.

Luck yes, but skill is obvious also. Beautifully captured.
