Pretty shot Tim! The wind can make for some good shots it the bird will turn and help you out and you caught this one just right. Most of the time I just have to wait awhile.

Tim, I really love this photo. I especially like the exposure. The lower feathers and the dew drop on the twig at the bottom look dead on. In my opinion, this is an exceptional image.

Great capture Tim. Like the wind and the effect on the feathers. The fog did produce a good looking backdrop.
