Couch's Kingbird

[Mack Hicks]

D700 200-400 f/4 Iso 1600 f/8 1/500

Early morning light, distant background, so I use f/8 for DOF
Perch is Texas Ebony mounted on rebar. Area was lit overnight to attract bugs, semi=permanent blind

Taken at Campos Viejos Ranch during recent Images for Conservation Pro-Am

This is a portrait crop from original landscape, PP in LR4

I like the moth and spider in the lower right corner which I only noted when checking sharpness at 100%

[Don Railton]

Well done on F8! I might crop a small amount of the top. If you shot more frames what happened with the moth in the bottom left? Bob

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Love the setting and the pose. Funny that you got the moth too.

[Marina Scarr]

This is an absolute killer image, and that moth adds so much interest. Love the perch, colors and your details are very nice here.

[Melissa Groo]

Beautiful complementary colors, and great comp. That perch is to die for and that moth rocks.
