This shot was a result over a span of 3 unfruitful weekends plan - a "SPEED HUMPS 15 MPH" warning sign was visible from the shooting position (along a steep slope) which view can be lined up against a dry tree branch where this Merlin 'usually' perches resulting the spotlight effect. Despite the fact that one of the elements involved was man-made rather than by nature, I'm quite pleased with the outcome.
