This young fellow came very close to me and just posed on top of the wooden rail at Shark Valley, Florida Everglades National Park. He was painted with a Nikon D70s, using a Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm f/4-f/5.6 G lens.

Image solution:
focal length @ 124mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / ISO @ 320 / 1/1640sec. - f/5.6 / white balance @ auto / AF - mode @ dynamic range, auto - continuous / color space @ sRGB /lighting solution - no speedlight, ambient light / exposure comp @ -1.3EV / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +1 degree / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / support platform - no tripod, hand held, sitting down with elbows braced against knees /

Comments greatly appreciated…:cool:
