    This image was taken with a multi-flash setup and a remote trigger.

    I know nothing about multi-flash set-ups but after seeing this - would really like to know more about it.
    Beautiful wing position and look of concentration on the bird's face.

    Mork-man, I am pretty sure that the bird was coming into a feeder. And yes, spectacular is the right word. Love the feet.
