Gray Catbird in Habitat

[Arsdel Fluesmeier]

20D, Canon 100-400@400mm, 1/400 f5.6, ISO 400. These birds are hard to lure
out into the open.

Hi Arsdel,

You got the bird nice and sharp with a nice head angle. The bg and fg are very busy and the image is very dark. The broken off branch is a bit distracting. Brightening it up would help.

Great pose and details,but the BG is a bit busy

I agree with the above comments Arsdel but you really did well on your exposure and detail in the darks. Feather detail is excellent as well as eye contact. Thanks for sharing.
