Hard to pick a favorite bird, but Bluebirds would be near the top of the list. First sighing of the year of a small flock that seems to inhabit an open area near my home.
Canon R5; 100-500 at 500 mm; 1/1000 at f7.1, +2/3 EV; ISO 6400(female) and 4000(male)
These are both very great images, Allen. I think I like the first one just a little bit more, but both are equally awesome.
Lovely images! Great soft backgrounds (and foreground) and details in the perches. The soft colours, pose, and detail in the top photo are compelling. It is hard when I see these photos together as I wish the bottom bird had the same sharpness as the top. I do like how the bottom bird has a green background framing it.
Very nice, Allen. I tend to prefer second image because he’s not turned away quite as far and the branches have a shape that I find more interesting than the first.
