    Default Common Redstart

    Hi All,

    Thought I'd post this Common Redstart, mainly because there just starting to arrive back now and I'm looking for some new ideas of how I should be photographing them. I love the landscape style rather than the portrait something I always use in my photography leaving good space either side of the bird. I'm not sure this considered correct but I think this presents the bird better imo. I guess I'm looking to improve on what I'm already doing, let me know what you think.

    BTW really enjoying browsing the site some beautiful photo's from some extremely good photographers, well done to you all.

    Best regards
    Carl

    Canon 7D and Canon 400mm 5.6L - 1/400s ISO 800 F5.6

    A fine capture, Carl! I really like the perch, some might not but it gives character, IMO. The exp and sharpness are nice and the white on the forehead looks good (not blown) Nice!

    I also think the perch is excellent. Gives the photos some character. If the barbed wire wasn't rusty and sagging then it would have the same feel.

    Wow! I never thought I would say I love a barbed wire perch but this is great! Love the rust and the curve and the moss. Great horizontal feel to the composition. I like that the colors in the wire match the colors in the bird. Beautiful dark BG. very well done!

    I like this alot Carl. The bird is well exposed and sharp, the BG is great, and the perch is awesome with the rust, curve, and the moss.
