This little one didn't stick around long. Taking in north key largo. D2X w 600/4 and 17x, f7.1@1/1250 sec, iso 500, EC -1
Thanks for looking, Rick

Hi Rick. Exposure looks good and the bird is sharp. I wish you got a little more of a profile. Also I would some off the bottom and top.

I love seeing shots of a personal nemesis birds. Sharpness looks good but I would do a blending of some of the colors in the upper right, the harsh blues in particular. Thanks for sharing

I like the way you included some of the bird's evironment. I would tone down the two bright leaves near his head. I also like the way you positioned those two large leaves in the FG. Good job.

Rick,

The bird looks sweet but the BG is just too over-powering for me. I suggest a crop like this. Would also clone out the remaining blue.

You did a nice job of capturing this fast little bugger. I like how the colorful bg sets off the gray bird.
