European Starling, Sturnus Vulgaris
Remember the Mirror lens that caused the ring effect? (
Example) This is from it's replacement, the Tamron 200-500mm. Same power, 500mm, but better bokeh (out-of-focus areas) — check out the leaves and branches behind him.
Since you have such an up-close view of a nicely-posed bird, I feel like I’m looking at a diorama!
Very nice, much more clear – much beter. Something was not quite right inside that cheerio machine.
