This guy landed within ten foot of me and had no idea I was even there. I managed to snap three pictures before he caught my movement and fled the scene. The reflected poled are masts of boats, just so you know. Hope you enjoy
Paul - Terrific colors with the silhouette. The focus is a bit soft, perhaps due to the late day sunlight. Is it sunlight glistening on the water in the upper right corner of the image? Thad
Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick.

The masts section out the frame nicely. Great lighting here. Perhaps just creative/personal preference but I'd crop in from the right to make this a square orientation.
