A pleasing composition with the head turn, detail, perch, and background.

A fine image, David. All the techs are there and a nice pose and background. Well done.

Your ability to nail the focus well enough to support those enormous crops always amazes me, David. Iā€™d never guess this was cropped that much. A very good image.

Here is the original uncropped image

Remarkable! Lovely capture of a lovely bird, which chose the perfect perch and BG!

Very beautiful image, David! I really love the lighting on the little bird. Beautiful setting!

Hi David
You are the photo catcher of Willow Flycatchers. To photograph a Flycatcher that far away and have it in focus and sharp is amazing. When you stated the shot was only 2.5Meg, I had to look up my first digital camera, a 2012 Canon Rebel with 6.3 meg pickup. A 95% crop on that camera would render a photograph of around 375,000 bits. The cameras have changed, but the skill of the people behind the camera has alway been there.
