There was a previous thread concerning shooting from a blind or hide with feeders and/or water attraction. This is a bird, a Cassin's Finch, that was seen in Cabin Lake, Oregon. There is a small cistern there that was built about 30 years ago. During the dry season it is the only dependable fresh water for miles. Needless to say, it attracts a large number of birds. There is a photo blind built about 10-12' from the water. This was one of my first pictures that I took there; I was using a 500 mm lens + a 1.4x extender on a full frame camera-way too much lens. Even though this is not a large bird it virtually filled the frame. I cropped very slightly from the right to remove some OOF concrete. I could not crop any further so had to leave a remnant of the concrete in. Question: Would you attempt to add canvas? If so, where?
Certainly if I had taken the extender off and used only the 500, I could have had more options concerning composition and may have improved my DOF. Next time.
