Wow, tension!

Yes, I wouldn't want to be the minnow on the receiving end of their intensity when hunting.

Brown Honeyeater from a week ago. It was foraging through heavy foliage and was only in a clear shot for the smallest of a split section. RAW is overexposed, but I took the shot anyways. If I'd adjusted the exposure, I'd have lost the shot. Better to grab the shot and fix in post (the R3's DR is good enough that it was fully recoverable). I love the pose and eye contact and the inclusion of environment in the image. It is a bit "busy", but that is what happens typically with environment shots of birds.
