Vermillion Flycatcher

[Glenn Bartley]

Here's another from South Texas. I captured this little fella at Estero Llano Grande park yesterday. This was one of the species I really wanted to get on this trip so I was pretty happy :)

Hope you enjoy it :wink:

Really nice. From what I remember back when I was in AZ, these guys are not easy to get close to. Looks great to me on the smooth BG.

I like this image. Excellent DOF. Love the saturation. Not crazy by the perch :D

Gorgeous image !
I'd be more than "pretty happy" with this one !
Great job on the exposure and controlling the intense red.

Only possible improvement I can see would be maybe a bit less of a head turn
(or a different body angle) so the bill would be more against the background but
that's really nitpicking.

Beautiful photo Glenn. I'd love to get this close to a Vermillion Flycatcher.

Hey Glenn,

Man, this is nice. What makes this image for me is the excellent clean BG and the bright RED. Excellent work!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Gorgeous is right. Beautiful image Glenn with excellent lighting and detail. I would personally like to see a tad bit more room on the top but still awesome as presented.

[Tony Whitehead]

Lovely, Glenn. The light spots on the perch catch my eye a little - might try gently burning those in. Lovely colour and BG

[George DeCamp]

Well that's a keeper! :)

The BG really sets the stage and the color of the bird tops it off.

I reckon you should be very happy with this one Glenn!! A real stunner and so beautifully portrayed - congratulation!!
