    Default Song Thrush with worms

    Hi all,
    The farmers are very active working on the fields close to home at the moment. I noticed one lunchtime that some birds were attracted to these freshly ploughed fields, so the next free evening I went to see if I could record any activity. The smaller birds, Wheatear and Yellow Hammer, stayed very close to the centre of the fields out of reach of the camera. This Thrush was slightly more obliging but this is still a reasonable crop from a 700mm lens combination.

    C&C most welcome. Canon 1DMK4, 500mm +1.4x, ISO800, 1/640, f5.6


    Cheers

    Austin

    I like the angle, eye contact, BG and food item. The whites look good, the rest is a bit dark, I would raise the midtones a bit.

    Hey Austin, well placed in the frame, and he sure looks proud of his catch. Overall sharp, and I would try and lighten the eye if you can.

    Lovely composition and I like the low angle and exposure. Agree the midtones could be lightened slightly. Fine capture and thanks for sharing.

    Nice, warm, colors and good detail. The meal in the beak adds a nice touch.
