Sweet light, sweet bird, sweet BKGR, and a nice head turn. There are lots of alternative crops here.

Did you use audio? (We had great success taping this species in AK.)

[Dave Leroy]

Thanks Arthur. These little birds nest and are very numerous in the foreshore area around Boundary Bay so no need for audio. All that is required is an early morning start and get down on knees. Tks for looking Dave

[Stu Bowie]

Lovely pose with a good head turn, and a great perch too. I like the soft light and pastel colours in this. Well captured Dave.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Nice pose, perch, eye contact and BG. I think there is a slight magenta cast.

[Bruce Enns]

Beautiful shot Dave, great pose, perch, head angle, exposure and background...it's all there!

Cheers!

Really nice light, BG and bird.
I would crop a little from the bottom.

Hey Dave, YAW. Thanks for the info and for your membership support.

I followed up on Axel,s comment about a colour cast. I tried a few things including filter/blur/average. This method appeared too blue. Ended up picking a spot on breast, called it white and levels/balanced off of that.

I am curious if any one looks and has a comment. Dave

[Ramon M. Casares]

Lovely light, great pose, nice perch and excellent BG, I would only suggest to crop some from the top.
Congratulations!

Hey Dave,
I think the repost looks better. Nice image.
