Hi Everyone,
Another one from Gatorland - thought the title conjoured up appropriately flirtatious ideas :D
1D Mk3 300 f/2.8
ISO 400
F5.6 1/6400
Exp comp @ -2.33
Cloned out a small branch from the LRC. Curves and a little sharpening.
Look forward to your c & c's!
Best to all,
Nicki

Love it Nicki - Big Congrats on this one - exposure is spot on - Black BG makes the subject POP. Just enough of the eye visible.
Well Done!!!

Hi Nicki, Very original with alot of impact. I love how the feathers form an arc along with the black backround and soft front lighting. The breeding colors add also to the image! Very well done!!
