Yet another setup. It was extremely windy and my thinner perches were falling all over the place.
I adapted and went with a sturdier perch.
From what I have heard, this species is quite uncommon in south Texas. I was lucky to have it come down to my setup.
Fine shot and I agree with the cropping suggestion. This is quite a common bird in Costa Rica and it frequently scares smaller, more colorful, birds off of fruit feeders and has acquired a less than desirable reputation among photographers as a result. It is, however, a very handsome bird in its own right and your elegant perch shows it off to great advantage.
Beautiful shot and a great setup. Techs are your usual high quality and the birds pose is nice. I saw this earlier on my Ipad and thought the same thing as the others. A bit off the bottom to highlight the bird better. Nice work.
Though I can the point in cropping suggestions, I rather like it as is as well...has a very nice garden bird theme look going for it as is......sweet shot
Gorgeous. This is a "high five" species for it's North American scarcity, and the image is murphyesque good!
Can a higher compliment be made? I think not.
Wow what a image Sidharth ,
I love it, the bg is superb and the bird is sharp and the perch is perfect
the berries in red and black add a lot of interest to the image, i may like it as it is , first i thought of the crop however on a bigger screen when i watched it i think i would keep this image as it is.
Hi Sid, love the light in this, together with the proud pose of the Thrush. I quite like the high placement of the thrush, thus the comp works for me. Perch has lots of character, and I like the surrounding foliage. Killer BG too.
