Autumn has arrived, and so have the Kinglets. This one found a Goldenrod plant to dine on the dried seeds. Captured this image at a local preserve the other day in late afternoon. C&C welcome.
D4s, Nikon 500mm + 1.4 TC, 1/800s, f 6.3, ISO 1000, Gitzo tripod, Wimberley Gimbal head.

Great colours and an interesting pose from this little beauty. Unfortunately for me, the foliage that covers the breast really pulls my eye, a real shame.
I know how hard it is to get the depth of field to cover small birds but I'd maybe consider pushing the ISO further in the future and using a smaller aperture.
I'd be going right back to that setting as it looks like it has excellent potential

Nice looking bird in fall setting.
Personally I would try a vertical crop as well just for the sake of experimenting.
