by Howard Cheek

Gallery: AvianPosted May 18, 2014143 views5 comments
A third installment of the Red Hesperaloe, Black-chinned female.
Your thoughts on the flower out of focus to the front like this is, and just the upper portion of the bird in focus?
F/6.3, 1/2500th, ISO 640, 1D M3, 300mm f/2.8 + 1.4x ext @ 9:45am & partly cloudy.

It works for me, Howard! Lovely plant and love the view of the little feet. Wonderfully composed. Sharon

Very nice. The green BG sets this off nicely. Limited SOF is ok for me as well.

Rather surprisingly, the bird holds my eye quite nicely, Howard, so the oof flower doesn't bother me much. The oof tail is just a fact of life unless you use flash.
