I spent some time learning the habits of this guy and setup aiming at the branch that he kept returning to while he was doing his rounds. When he returned, I was still, and already focused. Click!
Sweet! The only comment I have is that dark spot on the ULC that is blotching up the BG. Otherwise, great image! Well worth the patience it took to get it!
Superb detail Jeffrey and lovely composition. Agree with Robert re harsh lighting.
Yes, these critters will invariably re-visit a favourite perch time and again, and you were certainly prepared for this one!!!
Hey Jeffrey,
A little fill flash would have helped on the DF. or........you might have been able to tone down the BG by going with a little underexposure and using the flash as more main light. always a compromise!
Hey Jeffrey, as pointed out excellent details and I agree the backlighting kills any body light and details. The black blotch in the ULC is a little distracting for me..
