You have completely captured what I think of bird photography. You nailed it.
ReplyDeleteI think this is one of your best bird photos. I like the composition and the colors very much. Good job.
But you got the shot! And that is all that matters.
ReplyDeleteMy interpretation of your comments is that it was totally worth it, right?
Great capture ---
