Wow! He's got you sighted in too!

A real nice capture.


You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when to run
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

Excellent job on the lighting, I assume you have a raised flash-holder to minimize redeye? Great shot.

Excellent shot Sam. I really like your comp.

I have Cape Coral on my list of possibilities to try and find a few of these awesome little birds, it would be a first for me so fingers crossed.

Thanks for sharing.
