I took this in Louisiana last month. The day was dark and rainy but the odd time the sun peaked through and if lucky..... This time it shone right on this guy. I have not touched the background at all -it was just that dark.
Comment please.
cheers

I really like the wing position but I wish the light was better as fabs mentioned. Its not really that the BG is black but it is the hotspots and the noise.
The image is sharp and the EXP good but working in that harsh light you were dead in the water before you pushed the shutter buttoon. In addition, the bird is flying away from you...
