This little guy and two buddies just happened to wander in while I was photographing Buff-breasted Sandpipers last night. What luck! :)

All comments are welcome. Thanks for looking! :)

Hi Chris,

This is a very tiny crop from the bottom and left. The amount of detail in the full sized file is astounding! :)

This is sweet! I love closeups and you've capture this guy splendidly. Exposure looks spot on and the background is stellar :)

Great shot Laura, detail, exposure, BG all perfect. And to get one this large in the frame I'm amazed. I can't get anywhere near these guys here :cry:

As for luck, I'm reminded of a quote by Pasteur
"Chance favours the prepared mind"
Also your technique negates any mention of luck in my opinion.

Great stuff
