It's been a looonnnggg time since I don't post a picture here. Lots of other things keeps me busy to go out and shoot. Life is funny, first I don't have the equipment, then I have some gear but no car to go the places where birds are, then I have the gear and car but no time... as Arthur says: you gotta love it...
I made this image last month at 10:45am, yes, that's not the right time to shoot, especially the one have so harsh light. That's why I used fill flash. This is not my typical aspect ration but for this species I had not much in mind since it would yield a lot of empty room on top. Suggestions please!

Nice image Juan! There is not a lot of crop options for this long side view. I would have cropped this the same way you did. I like the sharpness, HA and walking pose. I would remove the second catchlight from flash.
