Blue Grosbeak

What technical feedback would you like if any? If you have any advice, I am always open to it, but I was just thrilled that this Blue Grosbeak has started visiting our feeder today. I have never seen one before, so had to even look up to see what species it is. i Realize it isn’t an award winning image, just thrilled with something this beautiful, and different to our yard!

What artistic feedback would you like if any? Any.

Any pertinent technical details: Through the window, handheld, Canon 7D Mark II, Canon 100-400mm lens, at f5.6, 1/1000, ISO 160.

Nice head turn and excellent detail in the Grosbeak, Shirley. I love the wood grain in the feeder. My only nit is the shadow on the bird, but that’s hard to control unless you have a rotatable hanger for the feeder.

Beautiful bird and nice image!
Wish they were out here!
Depending on the orientation of the feeder, try getting a shot in the early am or later pm, with no overhead sun.
