Lol, that's why my 70-200 lens is my favorite, so I can snap a pic and then find out what I was looking at afterwards!

Great capture of this bird, lovely side lighting and eye lighting, nicely framed and presented. :-)

This is a great photo. I'm really enjoying the photography where I get to see something I wouldn't normally get a chance to see. You did a great job catching his thoughtful glance.

Comment from supergold
an excellent framing and very beautiful lighting of this nice bird; focus a tad soft, but acceptable, certainly due to the distance;

Your crop and view turned out really nice. Like the low sun angle with highlight on the eye, blue sky, good focus and frame. It is always good to see our wildlife in a natural environment.

Very nice capture. The angle of the light is perfect. Composition is nice. I would wish the focus were a littler sharper, but you got the eye! That's important in bird pictures. Very nice.

Nice catch to spot him from afar. Nice detail. Nut overall the photo is out of focus. I see the wind was blowing and that was part of the problem. Thanks for the artist note. He stands out well against the blue sky. Framed well.
