wel as for a bit of fill-in flash: I think it went on full power and I have quite a flash :-)
But it was quite dark out there, a bridpark under a canopy of trees and this one was on slow film (100 iso) and on telezoom. I gave it all I could, but I agree, a little catchlight in the eyes would have been best. Maybe a bit of PS could help me here...
Wow, look at the size of his pecker! You could have tried a bit of fill-in flash here, but you might have got a result like the attached pic of an owl (red eye reduction doesn't work with owl eyes!). I like the vivid colours. Robert
