Hungry Blue Bird of Some Kind

This is a discussion on Hungry Blue Bird of Some Kind within the Nature and Wildlife forums, part of the Showcase category; I'm not a bird person, so have no idea what this bird is ;) But he was hungry... I'd love ...

Welcome to Pixtus!

Great job on capturing the YCNH while he was grabbing a bite to eat. Good timing to get the action. I like your compositions on both images, but wonder if you could have maybe gotten a little lower to shoot more at the bird's level?

I think the exposure looks good on both, but I personally don't care much for the heavy vignette on the first. The first one also looks as if the white balance is off - seems to have a blue cast overall.

My preference is the second photo.

Regards,
Patti
