Green-tailed Towhee perched

The first time i encounter this bird perched top of tree, I had to climb the tree to remove some twigs that obstructed the view, the bird return and click!

Raul:

Sharp, well exposed, nicely scaled perch, like the grip of the feet showing so well. I like the tail being in the clear.

Shooting angle a bit steep. Sky looks a bit oversaturated, but of course that may just be the way it was!

Cheers

Raul,
You exposed it very well, I like excellent sharpness & HA. Wish for slightly lower shooting angle. But still works for me. TFS

thx for the critic, i use a blind low, i have worry about stand up, this bird is very skulking

The steep angle is my main concern here, but great IQ with lots of detail. Well exposed, and a good head turn. Harsh light created some deep black shadows under the perch...
