I'Iwi Mating Missionary Position

To all my bird loving friends, have you ever seen anything like this? I

watch birds a good bit, but I've never seen them mating face to face. I

took 10 shots over a seven second time frame, so I'm sure they were

doing it! They were some distance away, there was little light, and the

cloud cover was heavy with lots of mist. I had the aperture wide open and

the ISO cranked up, so this shot had to be worked in CS5 to make it

somewhat viewable.

A lot of elements and the ones which are important are in different color, well done Dominick!

Best regards!

Amazing capture Dominick! I still want to come over and photograph the I'iwi. :)
