EOS-1D Mk III, 500mm f/4 + 2xII, 1/250, f/8, ISO 50
Manual Exposure (Sunny f/16 minus 1/3)
Manual flash set for -1 Fill Flash
About 85% of Full Frame
Photographed in harsh light (full sun at 11 am) last month at Malheur NWR Headquarters in southeast Oregon.
I was trying (in vain) to photograph warblers which were hanging out in the shadowy depths of this flowering
Prairie Crabapple tree when this guy landed quite close on a relatively open perch so I thought I'd give it a try.
Looking forward to your comments and critiques !

I like it Mike !!! Did well with the light Good pose and head angle. Would like a little more room for the virtual tail and ideally the bird more to the left with space for the flower on the corner. Maybe a little extra room if yo have it !!! Excellent capture !!!

Great exposure, details and BG. I agree on more room for the tail if you have.
