Looking Over The Shoulder

[Ed Cordes]

Another Gold Finch in my yard. I like the over the shoulder look.

1DMK2 with 500 F4 and 1.4 TC. Evaluative metering with ISO 500 and EV - 1/3 f 5.6 and 1/125 with fill flash at EV - 1 2/3. Cropped to about 705 of original.

Thanks for looking. C&C welcome and appreciated.

Nice job Ed, I to like the back view and HA. Sharpness good and wonderful BG. Maybe a little room to the right to offset the bird from the center. Congrats.

Ed, me thinks the yellow and whites are clipped, other than that I like. Good BG colour, comp, HA and detail.

Ed, Did you receive my letter to the BPN community?

I like the pose, alot and the perch is a nice size for the bird.

I agree with the above comments, and would also back down on the sharpening.
