This is another image that I created last week while in Cuba. It was the first time that I had an opportunity to photograph this species and I was able to do at different times, here in late afternoon light, over several days.
I hadn't realised that this species was so small yet had such a long bill.
Canon EOS 40D, Sigma 50-500mm at 500mm, 1/1600 seconds, F7.1, Manual control, ISO 500, Flash not fired
White Balance - Auto
Cropped to about 80% of full frame. I like the eye contact and BG but it looks like it needs some noise reduction in the BG on my uncalibrated office monitor. The eye might need some selective sharpening as well.
