Sunlit RWBB

[Steve Canuel]

40D, 400DO + 1.4xTCII, f7.1, 1/500s, ISO 400, - 1/3 EC, tripod mount. Slight crop to tighten comp.

Great light, exposure, detail, background, and composition!
Nicely done ... can be tough to get detail in these guys without blowing the red.

Only wish would be for a less dominant, more attractive perch.

[Stu Bowie]

Great exposure on the blacks, and lovely light in this.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great details, head angle, exposure control and BG. I might clone out the OOF piece of wood in the lower left.

Very nice exposure on this one, Steve. The BG and light are great. I wonder if cropping a little up from the bottom will reduce the perch's presence.

[Steve Canuel]

Thanks for the comments.

David,
I debated about cropping to remove the open space under the perch and using the perch across the bottom. May have to try that too.
