This is a released bird that lives wild and free in one of our local parks. Seems as if he comes out nearly every evening around dark and sings his sweet call. I just wish he'd do it a little earlier so as to give me a little lee-way with my settings. :w3 The background is wildflowers.
1/100, f 5.6, ISO1600
Canon 5Dmk2, 500 f4 + 1.4tc + tripod lowered to rock height and fill flash at -2 (I think).
Well, you managed to do just fine with your settings and also get a nice perch, killer BG, and wonderful pose and composition with excellent detail! :5
Would love to get a chance to photograph one of these guys someday.
Hi Grace, excellent perspective, and you timed the calling pose very well. Good use of flash, and I like the different colours on this fellow.
nice image Grace,love the calling pose,nice BG,good detail.I have a pair of these in a wood case with a glass front,done by a Taxidermist,I bought it at a antiques shop quite a few years ago.thanks.
Grace - the slightly cocked head and calling pose really adds to this. Nice bg too.
TFS,
Rachel
Truly a lovely capture, Grace. That BG really makes the Bobwhite pop. You have great details and colors in your bird and I like the calling pose.
Nice. The calling pose, perch, and background (especially the yellow OOF flowers) are all very nice.
It all comes together very well indeed, a fine shot, ticks all the boxes for me. I am guessing this is a partridge??
Sweet pose, comp and setting. I like this image a lot, Grace.
Oh, just a wonderful portrait, Grace! Such lovely colors, detail, and that BG! You really did a superb job. I heard one on assateague a couple weeks ago but never saw it. I am in love with their call and you captured a calling pose, and how.
If this is anything like Quails here then very very well done, as I cannot get close to these type of birds, stunning colors and patterns on this bird and sitting prominently upon the rock....did you use superglue on his feet per chance hehehe { kidding }
Every thing has been said about this magnificent image.Extremely beautiful composition of handsome bird with lovely singing pose.
Love the colors with superb details,nice perch and brilliant background.
Regards.
this is excellent love the pose details and the nice BG
well done
Grace, this is so nice. Very sweet pose with great detail. Add a nice clean perch and very beautiful bg and there it is!:cheers:
