Juvenile Bay-Backed Shrike
Canon40D, Canon EF 500 f/4 +1.4E

This is an experiment shot with back lit subject, which I normally don't do much. Your views and opinions about this are highly appreciated.

EXIF : ISO400, f/9, 1/800 Sec, -2/3 EV

Nice find and BG. I wish the bird's head were angled toward you and there is some color noise that I would try to reduce.

Ditto Axel. The colour noise suggests heavy shadow recovery during post processing? Perhaps having kept it darker with more emphasis on the rim lighting would have been an option. I also find there is bit too much empty space at left. It's good to experiment - keep it up!
