This bird has been a MAJOR nemesis of mine for the last couple years. Finally found a coopperative one over the weekend. Taken just after sunrise. Thanks for looking.

Congrats on getting this nemesis the way you did....impressive. But I find the perc and tail a bit too tight to the frame.

Another nemisis ticked off. Well done Garth. Somehow I missed this species this spring.

Excellent! Not a fault but with the background so far behind the bird I'm wondering whether you might have been able to stop down a little in order to get the tail in focus - I suspect there wasn't that much light?

I wish my bird photos came out just half as well.

The light and action is perfect!! But I would make a less tight crop (on the sides) too, if possible.

Beautiful image Garth, lovely light, perfect BG, the open beak, nice perch (but a bit tight on the left). You did not state SS and aperture, but stopping down a bit would maybe have brought the tail in sharp focus, without affecting the BG...?

You must be really proud of this one Garth.

BG colours compliment the bird very nicely. 10 on 10!

I sure wish my nemesis subjects could end up with results like this! Beautiful shot. Congrats on the EP. Wouldn't dream of changing a thing other than seeing it MUCH larger
