Common Yellowthroat

Another view of one I've posted a couple of weeks ago. I like the fluffed up grooming pose and the odd angle. I also like the texture of the feathers (best seen in the larger image).

1DIV, 500mm ISL + 1.4TC, Black Widow on RRS legs, f8, 1/1250, Av mode with no compensation, iso 640. Cropped to 4.1MP. Taken August 5th at 7:49 am.

Your comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

Nice capture with the head turn and catch light. I like the placement of the perch and the background.

Nice, Dennis. Direct eye contact, and I like that it is sharp end to end. :toast:

Excellent - tack-sharp throughout, great pose and head-turn, bright eye, and nice perch/BG.
