One more PhotoTrap image. I used a graduated background for this one.

Thanks for taking a look!

Quite an amazingly successful technique you're using, Alan.

Your graduated BG kicks butt, and I love how the feathers on this little guy just glisten!!! 85mm is crazy!!

its all been said,great capture,magic BG and pose.

[Neil Burton]

Can't add much more but would love to know how the trigger trap works.

[shane shacaluga]

Another great image using that setup!

Wing position and details are super, and BG works very nicely

I am really tempted to invest in one myself

Love the satin sheen on the plumage from the flash work. Pretty fascinating to study all the details. I like that you used a background with the suggestion of sky in it. Have you any soft oof forest backgrounds to try now? :) And I'm being serious not sarcastic...

Beautiful image well done! Great action stopping pose.

Hey Shawn, I did post some with soft mottled BG's a few pages back.

[eddyswan]

Great dynamic pose, love the wing position and superb details.

Amazing work Alan, Can you tell us how many flashes, you use for a shot like this?

Two on the bird, and two on the BG. Thanks.

[Holger Leyrer]

Stunnig image with stunning deatils. The pose is great. Eye contact, too.
Only the shadow from the talons on the plumage looks not so good (for my tastes)

[Shawn Zierman]

I'll go back and look. I missed em. Thanks for the heads up.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

The pose here is so cool and the detail on the wings and tail just amazing. Love the bg too.
