Blue Bird

D810, 300 f/4E w/1.4tc, 1/2000 f8
Colorado, May, 7K feet
I noticed the bird, moved to create a graphic composition. Very difficult to do unless hand holding because of the time needed and commotion generated when using a heavy lens/tripod.
All words welcome…

Nice composition. Pleasing pose and perch. I think it could use a bit more contrast. You don’t list your iso-and that is helpful information. This appears to be a somewhat large crop as I’m seeing some softness and noise.

A lovely pose and I like the slightly foggy feel, Steven.

Thanks all…
Yes, large crop, bad exposure, ISO 2000.
The altitude comes with “challenges”.

Hello, Steven, it’s the composition that makes the images for me. For me, a bit of more contrast could probably enhance the image. Cheers, Hans

Hi Steven,
yes - nicely composed and I like the head turn. Trying more contrast as suggested may improve the image.
