Taken about a month ago in rural Washington. Early morning light. This male was doing his part to help feed the young, with his mouth full of bugs.

D300
200-500 Tamron lens @ 400mm
F10
1/500's
ISO 400
EV-3

As always any kind of feed back is greatly appreciated.

A good pose and good detail. It feels a touch dark to me, but that just might be me. A solid image.

There's something about a blue bird which gets me every time...
Lovely details and the catch is a bonus...
I agree it looks a tad underexposed as presented.

Cool to get food in the bill - and the plumage is stunning

Great capture and spot-on techs. Love that electric blue.

Ron - Yes, I think your repost is a significant improvement over the original. I especially like the lovely colors of the bird and the food in the bill.
