p.1 #1 · Low light Eastern Wood Pewee's

Hey Everyone,

I was oh so hopeful after my last outing, but things did not turn out as well as I would have liked. However, as I was ready to leave when I happened upon this guy. They have one of my all time favorite calls and bring be much joy as I hike in the summer. They are prolific singers and will sing all day all, summer long!

These pictures also are significant to me because of the extremes settings and still came out pretty nice. ISO 640, 1/40 and 1/60…Canon 40D +100-400 LIS on Tripod.

Hi Bruce,

Two lovely images. I do lik the pose in #1 and nice and sharp

A minor issue for me is the white stem below and to the righ of the bird - itkeeps drawing the eye away from the bird - I would just clone that out.

Well done on a very nice capture

Thanks Gerry! I took your advice and did a little cloning. Does this work or does it look fake?

Bruce, it only looks fake to you because you knew it was there

Nice clone work and a good recommendation by Gerry

That is a pretty bird and you did a nice job on the image, excellent exposure and I like the glassy eye. Interesting too how that tiny leaf on the branch adds some delicate character to the perch.

Bruce,

excellent clone job. Looks fine - though I have to admit I didn't even think about the stem - but maybe my senses are dulled right now...

Thanks everyone for your comments. It's funny, like Lil said, I too did not even notice the white leaf until Gerry pointed out. I do think it is much better with the cloning.

Also, Karl I agree the little leaf on the branch adds so much to the picture. Just can't plan stuff like that!
