Using a long handheld lens, aimed toward a branch above my head... When the shutter closed, it became painfully obvious that the 2-second delay was still on from the previous photo shot. It felt like the shutter was taking a long stroll, in no hurry to make it back in time for this particualr shot... Freezing in place, I was surprised that the bird had held its stance as well. While not a crisp shot, the soft filtered light, interesting branch lines, and some on-the-fly innovations regarding staying still for 2-long seconds, make this photo worth enjoying. ~LSL
