I was on a driving tour of the American Southwest. I wanted to get in a shoot while I was in Arizona. A local photographer recommended Dai and I shoot. We couldn't find a wardrobe stylist so we just eliminated the wardrobe. I hope you like it.
A bird I have not come across before. In my ignorance I just assumed it was a variety of Toucan.
I feel fortunate to have ben able to capture it with my lens.
I felt very fortunate to capture this beautiful bird. I have not heard of this bird before and in my ignorance assumed it was a Toucan variety.
...was the challenge some weeks / months ago. I did: approaching the topic "deepscape".

Hector, I like your idea but the lighting doesn't work. I live in AZ. also, I could have help you with this shot...
Thanks Bill. The afternoon sun was pretty low. I wanted the harsh direct sunlight but I didn't want split lighting. I had her sister (the assistant) hold a homemade reflector (white beach towel) to open shadows on her face. We'll have to plan something for the next time I'm in AZ.
Let me know, the next time you pass thru...
BTW... I didn't realize you were in Tucson. I spent a lot of time there before my retirement from my engineering career. We pass through Tucson on the way back home from our visits to Havasu.
You may be right. Thanks!
