Shrike Against Snow

Another Loggerhead Shrike...a little further into the refuge. Background is snowy ground. I love these little masked banditos! Wish we had them here!
50D, 700mm, F32!, 1/40, ISO 320
LARGER version included...and thanks to those who take time to critique/comment. Sharon

Sharon--

I like how you captured this bird on a white background. Exposure and sharpness are right on the mark................Jim

Like the HK feel to this Sharon. I have been trying to get close to one of these for about 5 years with no luck. Very nice job!

Neat bird well captured Sharon. I echo Kurt's comment about the Hi Key look-very nice.

This is simple and a very beautiful composition Sharon

Great bird, great pose and nice sharpness, and the white background fits perfectly.

Sweet One!!!
