Apapane
I just got in this morning from Maui. My primary targets were the endemic birds first and foremost. It took me three tries to get a clean close shot of this wary species. After 2 days of watching them I figured that they fancied this one area of brush. That day I hid in some dense shrubs and finally nailed the shot. I did get some other ones, but this one definitely was the shot I had hoped to get. I had processed this with a cool tone version and a warm tone. I actually liked the warmer one better. Taken just at sunset in the shade.
