Looking Straight Up

This scissortail was right over my head! Didn't seem to bother him that I was right underneath trying to aim my camera up. Came out ok.

It did! Great capture, you've got a well-exposed sky and lots of details on the bird - not easy, I know!

[Lynne]

Beautiful capture.

[Allison Maltese]

What a fabulous composition with that strong X. Wonderful capture!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

I noticed the X in this image too. The bird and the wire contrast wonderfully with the blue and white of the sky, and it's perfect how you framed the bird's head in only blue.

Love the X shape in this photo!

I'm learning about different birds from your wonderful shots. I've never seen a scissortail bird. It sure has a long tail, great capture! Fav.

It did. Great capture. Crystal clear. Really nice to have a different perspective.

Except for the tail they look so much like mockingbirds. I don't see them around here. What a super capture!
