Cardinal Sin

Maybe disclaimer would be a better title as this image is a combination of two shots taken approx 30 seconds apart. The young female ( 1st Winter) took off when the adult male was making his approach. When the male landed several inches left of where she had been , I knew immediately that this would be a good candidate for a composite. A mono pod was used so layering the two images was quite easy,,,just used the branch for guidance on the placement and voila. Note : that its possible that this male is her father but with at least two other males (and several females in the yard) its just that...a possibility.

Awesome work on this composite and great thinking while it was happening to capture it!
