I took this with a flash. I think that the preflash startles him, so he was reacting to it.
I have used the flash many times, and most of the time, they don't react, but this time he did.

I took out the background because it was bad. I replaced it with a gradient.
Maybe I should have used a sky, I have several saved just for this.

Thank you.
I also have a couple of out-of-focus bushes that I saved for this, but I forgot where I put them.
The skys I put them in a folder, but I don't know what I did with the bushes. Have to try is again.
