Is that right wing lit by transmitted light? There's a border of gold
which looks like back-lighting, it's amazing whether it's deliberate or
not!


Yeah it's backlit. The sun striking the back of the bird left the front
in deep shadow so I flashed it a little. Light coming from 2 directions
can produce interesting results sometimes.

I know that from my studio work but have never seen it used so well on an
outdoor shot.
