    Hi All,

    Not your typical "field guide" pretty image, God only knows there are a lot of them out there :smile:, but I really liked the light in this shot. This little bird eluded me all afternoon, spending all its time in thick cover (as you can see), but around 7:00pm, just a couple of minutes before sunset, it gave me this look and I took it. I was after that red eye and I think it showed well in this image. Used some fill flash to balance out the brightness. Hope you like something different!

    Thanks for looking!

    Best,

    Jose

    Beautiful light and bird! They hardly ever land where you want them to do they?
