About the Image(s)

As I stepped out of the car at a parking lot on the west side of Lake Hefner I spotted a pair of House Finches feeding on tall grass. The sun was due to set in an hour and behind me; and distance of subject to background was enough to reduce interference to a minimum. I took several photos aiming to find the pair in a suitable complimentary pose, but found only one of them to be cooperative during several bursts at 20/sec. Their history of being a domestic bird imported to the east coast in the 1800s and escaping is interesting in that they made their way to Oklahoma!
Post-processing involved some minimal tonal adjustments and on the crop I went tight but preserved some information on the bird's choice of feeding or "menu".

My settings were f/9.0,1/2000th sec, ISO 800 at 500mm with an RF 100-500 lens.
