Beautiful profile and surroundings. I found one of these guys on our ranch a couple years ago, but haven't seen one since.

Constructive criticism is always appreciated.

Thanks guys and gals, here's another one from the same day. I will be editing these for a LONG TIME, there are so many. You can really see the difference in juvenile vs adult eye color here.

I did this to test the reach of my flash and Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX APO DG OS HSM with Sigma 2X Teleconverter EX APO DG. Happy with the results, but I've since gotten the AF microadjustment corrected and get better results.

Looks like a touch of "steeleye". Was the flash elevated?
