American Redstart

[Alan Murphy]

American Redstart

Galveston, Texas

D800, 600, ISO 640, f8, 1/2000, fill @ -2.0, water drip.

A little motion blur, but I the like seeing the under wing and tail colors (not often seen)

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

A superbly timed & exposed image Alan! I in fact like the little motion blur on the foot & wing tip. TFS.

Like the colors and BG, sharp is on the right place, good light, well done. Cheers! Miro

You know what , when i saw the thumbnail i did not need to read your name , just knew it was you
superb one
THis guy gave you a head turn even while flying off
i love the IQ and great BG signature of your images

[Jonathan Ashton]

Absolutely super, just maybe consider toning down the bark a little?

[Binu John]

Stunning shot, Alan! Love the pose and light! Nicely done as usual!

[gail bisson]

Love the pose and the light.
What a great position you captured this bird in!
I do wish the tail and feet had no blur but am OK with the wing blur.
I would also burn the branch ever so slightly.
Great perch (as always). I like your crop but might be tempted to crop ever so slightly on the left to avoid cutting off the leaf and I would also take a bit more off the RHS,
Gail

Great take off pose here, Alan. Love the splayed tail and what a beautiful bird.

[Karl Egressy]
