Ash-throated Flycatcher

[Bernie Howe]

I went out this morning right after a heavy all night rain and not much was going on but I did happen to catch this little guy.


50D 400 5.6L 400ISO Aperture Priority
f5.6 @ 1/1000 no flash
cloned out a few twigs behind the bird.

Hi Bernie - Sharp!! Like the pose and good detail. Might lighten the eye just a fraction and sharpen it a little more.
Might also remove the bloom from the twig at the bottom - eye keeps going to it.
Not sure about the leafs behind the head - IMHO sort of look lost there all by themselves.

Doing well though - Like it!!

Is this what you mean?

Hi Bernie, great job on removal! I like the pose along with seeing good detail.
I would lighten the bird(right now it's dark with not much dimension) and a contrast adj.
Interesting subject!
