I would have liked a better background and light but was happy just to get a shot of this guy. He spent several minutes feeding in the grass in mottled light and landed on this stick just long enough to get one shot off. Thanks for looking.

Comments and Critiques appreciated!

Canon 1DII, 500mm, 1.4x, ISO 320, 1/250, f6.3, ff -1 1/3, crop.

What a cool bird! I'd never heard of a Cerulian. Fill flash looks great.

Love it as-is, though I'd clone out a few branches for printing.

I like the colors and detail you captured, Scott. The blues really standout. Nice shot.

Beautiful bird! I like how the almost monochromatic background sets his vivid blue colors off. Congrats!

Beautiful warbler. I think the gorgeous bird outshines the extra limbs. Very nice image.
