Congratulations on winning the Small Bird Challenge. I was really impressed with the contrast, composition, and detail in your photo. I had 6 favorites that I was considering and all were amazing photos but the details and contrast in yours made it my top choice in the end. Thanks for entering.

Location
This photo was taken in Lake Cerrillos, Ponce Puerto Rico.Time
It was about 9:00a.m. when the picture was taken.Lighting
Since it was a cloudy day a flash was used(I try not to use it as much as possible).Equipment
I used a Canon 5d mark iii and a Canon 500mm f4 ii L series lens. I also used a Canon Speedlite 600EX II-RT.Inspiration
Nature inspires me to photograph birds.Editing
I worked the highlights and shadows in the photo. I also added sharpening and a little bit of vignetting to the photo.In my camera bag
When the day is cloudy I carry a flash, cleaning tissues and a polarizer filter for this lens.Feedback
Respect the animal's habitat, do not harass them and wear camouflage clothes. Be very patience.
