    Default Willow Flycatcher

    Taken this morning after a rain storm. Natural perch, audio attracted with no hide as I had to stand to get a good background. Stood still in the briers and this guy was within 5 feet of me at times. Close to FF. Background was a distant pine tree.
    Mark III, 700mm- 500+1.4, 1/400 @ f13, ISO 800, FF@-3

    Thanks for looking, CC appreciated

    Nice, almost too sharp if there is such a thing.
    I would soften and maybe saturate it a tad to give it some life.
    Well done.

    lovely shot. I like the diagonal line created by the brachial and bir's body. Good BG. No issues with sharpness for me.

    Nicely done! Nice perch, good background, and perfect pose. Perhaps just a bit of dodging in the area above the eye and some burning to the bright chest/belly area. Comp a bit tight, but a very pleasing image you got here!!
