Description

Canon EOS 10D, Canon 100-400L IS lens at 320mm ISO 400, 1/160 second at f5.6, handheld in natural light I love the colors that nature puts in these birds during this time of year when they are breeding. The colors are much brighter, and the birds are better subjects for photos. In this shot, I did not have time to put my flash on, so I had to rely on natural lighting and a slower shutter speed than I wanted. I really liked this pose with the bird looking toward the light, because that is what allows us to see the reddish color of his eyes. Thank you all for your generous comments on Open Wide.... It was an interesting pose I don't usually see often, and I got lucky to get the photo.

Very well done.I think a flash would have ruined the shot but a longer shutter was a gamble. Glad it paid off!I love the blue-gray tone of him against that brilliant green. Most excellent!
