Indigo Bunting

[Greg Morris]

Attached is an Indigo Bunting seen on the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge near Lawton/Ft. Sill, OK.

Canon 7DII, 500L w/1.4x, 6.3, 1/1000, ISO 400, no flash, lens on car door
Sizeable crop, but not sure how to state exactly how much
Shot in RAW w/AWB
NR and other adjustments made in LR5
Some special darkening of background near bird's belly area where vegetation had too much light through it.

C&C greatly appreciated.

Greg nice capture and like the background but just not sharp.Very soft maybe lost some in the cropping or sending the file.Did you turn off the car that may have caused the softness if the engine was running.

Greg, Nice pose, head angle and background, but bird itself looks a tad soft.

Thanks Kevin, I did have the car shut off so it probably is the large crop
