Last week's featured photographer, InterMedia Outdoors Editorial Director Ken Dunwoody, returns for a command performance this week with his striking image of a Lilac-Breasted Roller, taken in Botswana's Okavango Delta in July 2013. "He landed on a branch near us while we watching some giraffes, and was patient enough to let me use the in-camera flash and get several shots before he flew off," Ken writes. He used a Nikon D7000 camera with AF-S Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 lens at f-7.1, 1/320 sec., ISO 640.
