You were presented with a difficult crop I believe. Still you did a good job and congrats on the first of this species. I think a touch of fill flash could have helped.
:)
Sidharth, you have captured fine details in this image but I find some thing missing. I am not sure if it is the very contrasting BG or the crop. But if you want tons of opportunities to shoot these guys you should come down to Brazos Bend SP.
Thanks Akos and Bhushan. This was actually a grab shot taken at about 2 in the afternoon. Although the light wasn't very harsh that day, it wasn't ideal either.
Fill flash would have helped; now that you mention it, Akos.
Brazos Bend is on my list, Bhushan.
