Going thru some old images and came across this one that was shot without flash. It was taken in Southern California January 2004.

Dramatically improved using S/H in PS to lighten up the underwings

1D, 28-135 IS at 100mm, ISO 200, f7.1, 1/800, slight crop.

Comments and reposts welcome

Enjoy viewing

It's like there is a sun beam on it's head. Neat!

Just the right amount of detail under the wings, Jim. Nice wing position.

You did well pulling out all the underwing detail, Jim!
Perhaps I'd go just a tad darker though ...
