    Hello everyone. I was able to capture this little one just as the sun was coming up. Was not to thrilled about me being there and having its mate on top of power line right above was not that comforting. Hope you enjoy. C&C welcomed and encouraged.

    Robert, this is an excellent shot. great light and low angle. exposure looks spot on and moment is wonderful. Nice combination of some habitat and blurred BG.

    Sweet light Robert, and I like the low angle of capture. Well timed to get the open beak too. I like the varied BG.

    I love its little feet, intense eyes and open beak as well. Very nice photograph.

    Nice warm early morning light, and I like the calling pose. The low angle is awesome, but I think getting up a little higher just enough to clear the OOF FG part would have been a good option.

    This is such a splendid image, Robert. The low intimate look, the warm light, the pose and the bg make this a winner for me.
    Superb image. TFS.
