A simply composed full-frame vertical image of this species that is normally super skittish around these parts. This one has become somewhat of a local celebrity among the area photographers for its' tolerance to human presence.
Heavy sidelighting in bright sunlight required LOTS of flash to fill in the shadows (I need to get a Better Beamer!)
Canon 7D + 100-400L @300mm, aperture priority, evaluative metering, 1/1250s., f/6.3, ISO 800 (it's favourite perches are in the shade thus the high ISO), +1 EC, 580 EX II flash @ +3 FEC, minor duckweed surface clean-up.
