This is the type of shot one reserves for the end of a portfolio or the front cover of a magazine. The balance of light and shape is incredible. I highly recommend you take your wonderful collection and start soliciting birding and nature magazines. Any editor or art director who saw your collection would leap at the chance to work with you. Congrats on another great shot.
Hello, Todd. I find bird photos especially difficult to shoot with a creative eye, as you have done here. Your usual exquisity sharpness, despite the waning light.
