Gorgeous capture. I got to see one of these close enough to catch a photo--not NEARLY this detailed--at a local bird sanctuary. So I have a pretty good appreciation for how well-timed this had to be--and how much patience it probably took to get it.


Thanks. Almost impossible without precapture. With precapture it just becomes very hard. :)

The wing shape is excellent, and the orange patch really stands out against the soft background. Very sharp and well-timed. Congratulations, bobnospum!
