The Eastern Kingbird is a very calm beautiful bird, they let you get really close.
This image was taken in South Carolina last spring..
He was on last years corn stalk, I was on my tip toes...:2eyes2:...trying to get level with him.
I tried the 1/3 rule comp but he was too small in frame, so I settled for this crop.
Thanks for looking...

Lovely on all counts. I can see why you were on your tip toes. I like the angled stalk, the sharpness, the BKGR, and the good EXP. A Linear Burn on the brightest spot of the perch right between the bird's legs would be a good plan.
Sweet image. Like the background. Tried to get a couple of shots of one of these early in the summer but from the kayak the angle was to steep. TFS Gary.
Paul, this is a beautiful capture. Love the background and composition.
Beautiful image. Love the sharpness and bg. Agree on the bright spot on the perch.
Beautifully captured kingbird Paul! Love that BG!
Excellent composition, Paul. Beautiful light and bg. Great exposure.
Maybe a touch tight for my taste Paul. Great pose and love the BG. The little hot spot at the top of the perch between the toes is a bit bothersome. Otherwise fine to me. :)
Thank you all for comments, its funny how we miss little things...I repaired the bright spot...
Super pose Paul, with good exposure, detail and sharpness. Well done on fixing the bright spot on the perch.
Paul, Fantastic pose, details and perch- great looking image and lovely re post.
great capture. The repost makes it even better :)
Excellent repair. Thanks for doing all you could to improve the angle. Fine shot.
