September 13, 2014 at Huntington Beach Library Park. This was taken in the area where there was formerly a pond. The drought has dried up the lake and it is now grass and small plants.

Nikon D4 Nikkor 600mm ISO400 1/800 f/8 White Balance Auto Taken using a Wimberley Gimbal on a tripod. Processed in Lightroom, PSCC, NIK and TK.

Hi Patrick,

Nice BG and lighting of your subject. I would have cropped it slightly for a tighter composition........................Jim

Excellent work here, Patrick. Great details in the DF, fine perch and nicely uncluttered background.
