Caught this little guy feeding on the beach. He was walking along with his little crab meal. The sun was filtering through some trees behind me, as he poked his head into the sun's rays, it lit up his face very nicely.

Very nice images here with the first getting a little more of my attention for the action and light. The second is also a sweet shot and that look always puts a smile on my face:D

Well done on both captures Keith. I like the first one for its action the second for its details.

Another awesome YCNH series Keith! Your timing is perfect in #1, waited until the head was nicely lit.
It's good to see a different habitat and food source for the YCNH. Normally i see them hanging out at the pond, river or swamp, and feeding on fish and crawdad. Crab meat is definitely better.:D
