This guy was taking a quiet nap as I kept on approaching towards him. I was sitting in a country boat with the camera in handheld position. But when he became cautious, I found myself in a very weird angle from where I could get flight shots, but there wouldn't be any background. But getting a nice BG was only possible if this guy was allowed to attain a certain height. Patience paid of.
