Hi Everyone,

This guy (probably the same one as the other day) came out of nowhere from over my left shoulder late this afternoon.
I had time for just one shot and then he was gone. Luckily I had some good light.
His eye has no saturation added.. that is the real color.

Hope you like him, he is a real beauty.

Hi Saurora, Thank you for your comment. He only had his eye on me for about 3 seconds and then.... gone. But one shot is all that counts.

Hi Glenn, Thanks for your comment, I never saw him coming. These guys are pretty amazing the way they work the brush and grass around the whole lake. And then they start all over again.

Thanks Russ. I will send him right over if you and Jeff will send some of that L.A. Bokeh out this way..:rofl
I think that would be a fair trade.

Thanks for your comment Louie. I would say he was probably out about 30 yards moving fast from left to right. One shot was all I got and then he was back into the brush looking for critters .

Nice lighting on the eyes. Photography is all about being prepared when that few seconds presents itself. :clap
