You did very well with the harsh light Jose...I like the open bill and the food flip catch...:eek: the color rendition and details on your subject is superb...well done...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Love the action Jose - Just one question.....

Why weren't you lying flat on your stomach for this one???

A lower shooting angle (depending on what was back there) would have put this over the top for me.
Well done considering the harsh light and angle of the sun.

Great timing !! Might darken the bg just a bit Excellent exposure with the harsh light !!!

if you darkened the bg, you probably wouldnt be able to tell it was midday with the exception of the shadow. well done!!
