Eastern Kingbird in sweet evening light.
Taken last night, before sunset.
The bird has magenta cast but decided to leave it as is.
I removed it first but  it made the image look ugly IMO so I left it on.
Thanks for looking.

Sunset colours can add variety to the appearance of the birds and show them as they are seen. Nice lighting and background and pose on an uncluttered branch that shows off the bird.

Been chasing these guys a long time. Not as easy as you made it look. The whole pic is spot-on, but the near eye level perspective makes it a standout.

Good choice to leave the light as shot. Nice composition with a creamy smooth background.

Your output and variety is fantastic....it is about time you went home.

This is another beauty with everything nice about it as outlined by others.
