yellow bellied flycather 2005

your comments please , thank you

Great photo. It is so sharp you can see that the dragonfly looks surprised :) Excellent composition.

Excellent picture! Bird- pictures are not close to my heart, but this one is photographically an excellent picture. The colors and the cropping is great, but what is great about this picture is that it has captured the bird's life in great way.

Superior. perfecto encuadre ,luz y color, PN. no seven, un cordial saludo Glenn.

Nice Capture.

What can I say but magnificent shot.Just wondering what does the extension tube do??

and Birte, the extension tube does 2 things, first it reduces the the distance you can be from your subject ( must be very close to subject for a shot )and still have them in focus , and second it is a macro ring, so it makes this lens a long distance macro lens,less than 20 feet, I was at the very end of the range for this shot with a couple of inchs to spare, thanks again ~ GT

Glenn, this is a fantastic bird image. In my honest opinion, His catch is what makes your catch perfect. Cheer, Raphael

Excellent!

Great DOF you got there, I like the light too!

What a catch! It's a killer.

what a beautiful little birdy - one would never think he could do any harm. Stunning picture!

Great lighting and a great shot! Was it holding the dragonfly for very long or was this a split second capture?

Excellent!

caught the food chain in action.... very nicely done, beautiful bird and prey. Pnina

All for the nice comments,this is where the flycatcher stopped to show off her catch before entering her nest to feed the young.she would land on top of the rotten stump (in the swamp ) ,look around and then fly into the hole below in a matter of seconds ~GT

That's what it's all about isn't it, Glenn. Paying attention to what they do to anticipate the shot. Man, you did a great job here. Is that the sun in his eyes or a fill flash. Absolutely spectacular effort and picture.

Jamie, once I found the birds, I only came to photograph them in the evening light 1 hour before sunset, thanks ~ GT

nice shot

Fantastic capture with perfect light, composition, and sharpness!

 

But is it a great crested (Myiaarchus Crinitus) or yellow bellied (Empidonax Flaviventris)? Yellow bellieds have a white eye ring and black wings. I just don't see that here. Regardless of what type of bird it is, the picture has absolutely no room for improvement; perfect!

thanks Ken- you are right , this does appear to be a great crested flycatcher ~ GT
