Black redstart

Photo taken with a Canon 7D and a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM in Sicily, last December. I was sitting in the garden and the little fellow came so close that though I only had a 300mm reach I could almost fill the frame.

Nice detail and pose, Riccardo. I do find the reflection circle on the left a bit distracting and I'd probably remove it if this ere mine.

Welcome to NPN.

The OOF circle is a bit distracting, but not too much. I would like to see the bird just a bit brighter, but nice pose, color and details. It is nice when they come and pose for you! Thanks for sharing.
