Another visitor to the set up....The bird wasn't baited, it came in three times chasing the smaller birds....It managed to catch a bird the first and second times it appeared....The third time it came in and perched for a few seconds....I did manage to get a shot of it in flight, when it was chasing a bird, (not an easy shot to get) but the focus was off...so I binned it....Maybe get better luck next time....ACR, Topaz NR and PS
Hi Will ,... nice to have such cool visitor at your set up , albeit he chases the small stuff away .
I do like the pose and the overall tone ... personally I would give the colors a bit of a boost .
As posted ... I would say this has to go vertical , too much dead space on both sides and not enough at bottom and top ... IMHO
Man, this is pretty cool! I only wish you would have had the time to take some in-camera verticals here. This would have helped with including more perch (which looks like it was a great one) and with the virtual tail being cut off. We can tell something had its attention with that huge round eye! Sharp, and super BG!
There's a lot to like here. Ths bird is beautifully lit and the detail is awesome, particularly on the face and feet! I'd love to see more of the perch and the tail, but not much you can do about that now! A winner all considered.
