Eastern Kingbird

[Beth Goffe]

This was taken last June at Buttercup Farm Audubon sanctuary in Dutchess County, NY. It's a rather large crop but this is the best kingbird image I have so far. :)

It's a great pose with a nice perch and BG! Sharpness suffers due to the heavy crop, but I still like it a lot! Thanks for posting!

This is very well done. Your work is improving. I like the open bill, the partially raised wings, and of course, the BKGR. For a large crop, image quality looks pretty good.

I like the open bill, eye contact and BG. Maybe a bit more sharpening.

Is he qualifying for the Olympic games as his pose seems to imply? :)

Well done, Beth.

Beuatiful pose and the open beak is a nice bonus Beth. I very much like the composition and will look forward to your future posts.

Beth, I never get these guys/gals to face me so I say it is a super image! Bob
