Why ya gotta be so cold?  You sure are pretty, but you are empty on the inside.  I'm outta here.  No wait.  Yeah, I am outta here.

So cool look a the pictures close and you will see some things happening-one is how red his head was only while he was touching the DSD---funny thing is that's how red my wife's face got when I told her how much I paid for my DSD;)

He was actually full on red when he first approached. Then he flushed white after a while, probably when he was getting a bit frustrated. The red came back when he sort of regrouped and went into a pretty intense display of strutting circles around her, although not as bright as when he first showed up. He went back and forth between white and pale red several more times after that.

camera and lens set up?

I use a couple different camera bodies, in this case it was a Canon 6D. Lens is the Canon 600mm f4 IS II. These were all taken with the bare lens, I posted some in the photography subforum that used the 1.4x teleconverter for 840mm.
