Immature Red-eyed

We came across this immature Red-eyed Vireo during an early morning walk about Monhegan. This guy was pretty cooperative and allowed nice views for all, and although the light wasn't that good, I was able to capture this at a much more reasonable ISO.

Wonderful detail and fine accomplishment in getting separation from a busy BG with narrow DOF.

Very nice. The posture is wonderful. Light and flash handled perfectly.

Great pose and nice detail Chuck. Framing's just right for my tastes too. The bird's in just the right place in the background. You're becoming very good at this!

Beautiful capture. Great muted green in bird and BG. Like the pose by the bird and the flash is very natural.
