I haven't seen many Scissor-tailed Flycatchers on the ground, but I saw this one and couldn't pass it up. I like the detail in the subject. I finally talked myself into shooting at f8 as has been suggested.
As always, thanks in advance for your time in commenting and critiquing.
7D MkII, 500 f4, 1/1000 at f8, ISO 500, 75% of original, no flash

Everything about the bird is good, color, light and detail. It would make the imge really good if it had a really nice pearch. The low angle works very well for the ground shot.
Superb detail in the plumage, Greg, and I like the nice catchlight. As you say, an odd place to find it, but it works nicely.
Good look at this guy Greg. Nice details, well done!
What a beautiful bird this is!! I like the detail in the feathers and the catchlight in the eye. I would have preferred a little more space in front of the bird to look in, but that's always difficult when the bird has a long tail like this one. If you give it more space in front the bird tends to be samller in the frame unless you make it a panorama. So I understand why you made this decision.
