Shot through the window with Canon 7DII, Canon 100-400 mm L lens, f6.3, 1/3200, ISO 800 (auto), +7 exposure, handheld. Edited in LR and Topaz Studio.

I like the wing position and the blue in the wings come through nicely. Good overall detail in the bird. I suppose in a perfect world the left wing would be a tad higher to give full exposure to the eye, but that’s a tiny nit. Very nice shot of a bluebird against the blue sky, well positioned in the frame.
Plus seven exposure compensation? That seems like a lot and my Canon 7DII only goes to plus five.
Allen, thank you for viewing and commenting. Yes, I would have loved to have had all of his eye showing, but my click was a nano second off in timing. 
Well, I trusted the computer on the +7. I thought that was mighty high, as I only usually go one or two stop +/-. I just looked down on Windows Explorer and that is what it read. I have no idea if that is a combo of in camera and editing in LR or what. Thanks again for viewing and commenting.
Pretty nice frame. Exposure looks good. As Allen noted, +7 is not possible. The 7DII won’t even go that far with exposure compensation. It may have been .7
I wish the wing didn’t touch the eye, Shirley, but I love the backlit wings and tail. they’re just awesome. A very good catch to get one of these in flight.
Hi Shirley,
I really like the spread far wing and the fanned tail. Nice sharp catch of a tough in flight subject. Wish the near wing wasn’t intersecting the eye.
Thank you, Keith, Dennis and Allen. It was those backlit wings that I liked on this shot. Just wish that the wing hadn’t covered part of the eye, but it did. Maybe next time. I appreciate everyone’s comments, as always.
I really like the tone in this image with respect to the blue backlit wings. As others have said you probably needed a fraction of a second to move that wing above the eye.
