Scissor-tailed Flycathers Come a Courting

[Brandon Scott]

The Scissor-tailed Flycatcher is the state bird for Oklahoma, and the best thing about the state!!
These two were courting when I caught them in the pose.

Big Welcome Brandon !!!!!!! So gad to have you here !!!!!

With two small birds in frame Its usually good to move them more to one of the corners vs in the middle of the frame !!! If this is a full frame cropping some of the bottom would be the thing to do. Looks like the light was more from your left so the face of the lower bird is in shadows. Will download and re post in just a couple !!!

Just did a different crop, clone a couple of branches and lighten the image slightly.

Try to get closer, move it at the sun angle and then adjust your position for minor bothersome branches.

Congrats and keep them coming.
