Location
This photo was taken in Borneo, Malaysia.Time
It was taken sometime in the early afternoon, during one of the frequent rain showers.Lighting
I was lucky enough to have enough cloud cover to make the harsh midday lighting softer.Equipment
This shot was taken hand held at 1/400 with a Canon 6d Mark ll.Inspiration
There were so many beautiful hummingbirds and tropical bird in the area. But it was the simplicity of this little guy all alone enjoying the shower that captured my heart.Editing

Well Canon, always Canon! I now have a Mark lV that I am in love with. My white 200mm lens and my super wide.Feedback
Because it was midday and raining, most everyone in my group was inside taking a siesta! Those are the times that I love becuase it's quiet and you don't have to jockey for position. And becuase I was alone, I was able to stand pretty close to this bird. And sometimes...it's simply better to be lucky than good.
