the bg is just too uniform to be natural stuff thrown way oof. If I'm right is this a common practice in wildlife/nature photography?
nice one. With the odd exception I don't venture into wildlife photography much myself. Lack of time and knowledge of the subject. If you don't mind me asking, did you have a background and reflector rigged up for this shot? There is a definite directionality to your light, and it's got a nice quality to it. and the bg is just too uniform to be natural stuff thrown way oof.
