Hi folks ...
image captured at a " popup hide setting " in the local woods .
Feeder was visited very regularly by various songbirds and two GSWP .
Weather was rather dull on that day

Canon EOS R 6 II
EF 200 - 400 iS L at 560 mm
Tripod
Full frame

F 9 / Iso 25.600 ; 1/3200 sec ( ready for potential flight action of the songbirds )

Processed with DT 4.6.1 and PSCC 2024

Thanks for looking and commenting to my previous postings

Cheers Andreas

A fine capture, the colours in the moss and the red patch appear just a little too saturated to me, perhaps the contrast in the perch is a tad high? Overall presentation in terms of composition look very good. Noise control and sharpening look spot on, the eye is beautiful.

THX Jon .. glad you like it .
I guess matter of taste with the colors .... as many times you are talking about my choice of moss color :bg3: , in reverse i would change your choice of greens :bg3:.
The only thing I might change with the perch is burning the brighter parts a touch ... other than that I do like it .

Cheers Andreas
