One of my favorite perchers is the wonderfully named TYRANNUS TYRANNUS! This picture was taken the other day with the Canon 7D and 70-300L at 300mm. iso400, 1/1250, f7.1 and you are looking at roughly 75% of the original...
Before I joined this forum I would compose shots like this quite often. Then I joined this forum and I've learned that the general consensus is to leave room where the bird is looking. Put another way: avoid compositions like this one! But folks, I've gotta be me! I won't insult anyone's intelligence by telling you that this picture and its composition please me deeply. After all, who in their right mind would post a picture they disliked? I post it now to hear your comments and criticisms, which I welcome heartily. This is one fine forum and there is so much to learn!
In case you haven't already guessed: this picture was composed thusly out of necessity. i.e. branches on one side, people on the other, a kingbird just about to fly away. But I'm glad it worked out this way...
Many thanks for your consideration!
