Taken two years ago, before I sold off my Olympus gear. He was strolling along the branch and then suddenly lunged over to pluck a mosquito out of the water. A bit tight in the frame, and I almost cut off his wingtips.
Olympus Em-1mark2, 300mmf4 + 1.4x, 1/2000sec at f5.6, ISO800
Processed in Capture One and Affinity Photo(to remove an annoying grass blade).

A perfect setting and beautiful wingspread, Scott. The mosquito ices it. Excellent work!
