    Default Silver Breasted Broadbills

    Just to share with you guys my favourite cutie pie couple - a pair of Silver Breasted Broadbills

    These are small montane birds (only found at elevations of above 900m above sea level) and the female (rather aptly) is the one with the silver necklace around her neck (left).



    D300, AFS 600mm f4. 1.4X TC, Wimberley II Head on a G1325
    1/40s f/8.0 at 850.0mm at ISO 640

    Just mild cropping and USM done in CS2.

    Beautiful species Tsechien, and nice that you got a good look at both the male and the female! I'd like a slightly lower angle, and I might consider removing the bright twig intersecting the perch on the left. Thanks for posting!

    Beautiful birds and well-captured. I agree with Doug regarding that bright twig and I would put them a bit further to the left in the frame to get them out of the center. Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks Doug, Juan & Axel for the valuable feedback.

    Will see what I can do to the twig with some healing brush strokes in CS2.

    Best Regards,
