Rose-breasted Grosbeak against blooming apple tree, version 2.0
Same individual against the same tree serving as a backdrop, but a different perch (from same branch) and pose. I think I may like this one even more even if the "rose breast" is hidden!
Canon 30D + 100-400L @370mm, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/250s., f/6.3, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, FF. Again, a nasty lime-green cast on the white belly from the grass below was negated in post.
A real beauty Daniel! I like the BG in this one more and the IQ is top notch as usual. The pose and perch are interesting. I can't find a perch like that down here but will have to look again.
