Mockingbird in Classic Pose
Caught this proud bird hunting for insects in the nieghbor's lawn. Evening light at 5:00 p.m. was just about right.

40D, 500f/4 + 1.4tc, f/5.6, 1/500s, ISO 500, slight crop to frame image.

I'd agree that the angle and quality of light were just about perfect. Great detail too, Daniel. Thanks for sharing.

Tweet .... I mean SWEET! :biggrin:

Nice one Daniel ... like the low perspective, nice light, good background and excellent detail. Well done! :toast:

this is one of the nicest you have posted. Light, color, pose and sharpening are all prefect (IMHO of course).

Your neighbor helped by having a nicely mowed lawn. :wink:

I love that perspective! The grass in the foreground does a lot of good here. Great one.
