You certainly captured the kingbird in a pose that shows off the beauty of the bird, great timing. The lighting really does show the delicate nature of the wings and tail. Nice one Yves.

Description
I love that shot for the special lighting of that eastern kingbird. The sunlight comes sideway so the body of the bird is backlighted. The wing on the left has direct lighting but the right one seem to be lighted from behind. The white tips of the tail feathers are realy shining too. (taken july 2024)
