Taken after sunset with flash (Godox 860iin & Visual Echos Better Beamer). I saw him on a street lamp as I drove past, so I turned around and pulled into the nearest parking lot. he was on a tree just on the side of the lot, so I was able to park not far away and get the camera out of the back, using the door as a poor blind.

That's a super picture you've taken of this youngster Marc.

I think it#s a clearer image than the one currently in The Opus, so I'll use your one there and will upload it shortly.

Many thanks for sharing it with us lad.
