Little Blue Juvenile

Don't see these juvies very often. Last week this one appeared in Bayou Sauvage. I couldn't get very close, so this was with my longest focal length and cropped to 3:2 about 70% of the 4/3rds original.

E-5 ZD300 F2.8 +EC-20 Wimberley I on GT2531, ISO400 1/3200 f6.3 -1.0EV

Bill,

Very nice light, the wed adds greatly, but the reeds directly behind are for me a tad distracting. Nice to see Olympus still my favourite :toast:

Nice capture and pose with superb detail. You appear to be getting excellent results from your Olympus system. I too switched from full frame Nikon to Olympus but to the OM-D. Still waiting and hoping they come out with a pro tele lens for the micro 4/3.

Very nice shot. I agree about the reeds behind, but we take what we get.
