    Funny, I looked at the pic for a few seconds before I read your info. I thought it looked 3Dish and looked like it had been flashed, but no, is a BIF. Dont think I have ever seen it done besides hummers. Cool that the beamer got out there enough to make a difference.
    Exposure looks great as do the details. I like the tree and sky BG too. Well done.

    Great flight pose with the dangling feet and clear head and loving the look of those whites. Must have been strong sun for you to flash at full power fill and it was obviously handled well.

    Great execution with the flash, Mike. loved the wing spread. And having trees along with sky is so much better than just sky.
