Caught this guy grooming himself in a pond. He was startled & seemed outraged.

He looks a bit perturbed. Very nice shot!

Definitely angry. Nice shot.

Thank you. Can't imagine why he was pissed. I did not use a flash even though my wife insists that I took the shot in a studio.

You caught him at his work of being pretty - of course he was offended that you looked behind the curtain.

I first thought it was shot in a studio

Great capture! That Tokina AT-X 400/5.6 SD lens is really a capable lens in the right hands, Looks like you have it down. I find white birds really challenging with it, but you nailed this one well.

I hope he doesn't sue you for putting this online.

I attribute his demeanor to that too

The sun being pretty low in the horizon contributed to the water being dark

Thank you. I love the lens. Weighs slightly over 2 lbs, is about a foot long & has AF. It also works great with the Kenko 1,5x & the Tamron-F 1.4. It is very hand-holdable & you can have it in your bag all the time & even take it hiking.
