The sun was seconds away from setting when this female landed right in front of me as I was walking back to my car. I realise the foreground and background are messy but I love the light and pose. I am interested to know what you think so any comments positive and negative would be appreciated.

1/640s f/6.3 ISO200 400mm raw monopod

Thanks

Hi Liam.
Birds like to do there own thing and perch where they please,but as you say the light and the pose are very nice.

Lovely backlight, I love how it highlights the wings of the fly in the mouth! I agree it's a bit messy, but the light makes the bird stand out so it isn't a big deal :toast:
