I set up a new songbird perch in my backyard. Did not expect to see this guy. An unusual perch and pose in comparison to all other shots I've gotten of this species.
Sony A700, 70-400G @400mm, f5.6, 1/400, iso1250, ev +3.0. Perch was in the shade of the morning sun.
Cropped to portrait, darkened and blurred BG, selective levels, curves and sharpen on bird. Cloned highlights on head and beak.
