Golden-crowned Flycatcher
This shot was taken in Ecuador, where a security light is left on at night at a private residence. Before dawn, especially after a very dark night, the flycatchers and ground birds gather for the feast. The flycatchers sit on perches and wait for the ground birds to scare up the hiding moths and then grab them as they flee. I attempted to get shots of the birds capturing moths in flight, but it was too dark. Within 15 minutes the feeding frenzy is over. This shot was with a 7D2, ISO 1600, 500 mm+1.4, SS 1/160 and f/5.6. My questions are: Should I add more canvas on the left (I have added approximately 1 centimetre to the top), even with the perch going out of focus? Should I bring up the brightness of the bird? Any other thoughts. Thank you in advance.
