Yup. I took that picture with my Canon Rebel XT with a Canon 50 mm f1.4 lens. I only used Photoshop Elements 8 to crop it to size, didn't change any colors. She was a real nice looking female that I just sold last week.

My new lens just arrived, so I had to try it out.

Here are 2 pictures of a 2011 male Fire and his 2013 Congo Fire daughter:



And here are 2 pictures comparing the Orangebellies that are changing colors. The color changing 2013 female Orangebelly is on the left, the color changing 2012 male Orangebelly is on the right, and the normal colored 2012 male Orangebelly is front, middle.
