  Thank you, JJ—so glad you like it! The bird was very cooperative. I love 500px—it’s a very welcoming community, and I learn quite a bit from (and am frequently awed by) so many of the very talented photographers on that site. Do you have a portfolio there? If so, please let me know so I can follow.
