~I love it when you can get this type of reflection in Florida. To get the exposure where you can get the details from the highlights and shadows are the hardest thing. I was lucky enough to get just enough light to allow me to expose for the highlights and yet retained details in the shadows.
Enjoy and please share!

Incredible light on this most gorgeous of birds. This should be a wall hanger for sure! Don

Great job, Troy! Definitely a tough shot- and at 1200mm no less!

Nicely done I really enjoyed the fade to yellow background and your bird looks like he just got back from the barber
Thank you for posting,
John

I still have not seen this species in person. Would be great to see it in a situation like this. Yielded a top notch photo. Excellent work Troy!

Thank you guys. The key to capture the best exposure is when they are in between the direct sunlight and shaded area. That way you more of an even lighting. In the direct sunlight, you have to be careful exposing for the white thus giving you less details in the shadows; while in the shade, pushing your histogram further right will causing the BG/Reflection to be overexposed.
