Catching a ray

It wasn’t easy to find the starlings in this big tree near the park, although I could certainly hear them.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

The slugger, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/320s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Beautiful image. The subject is sharp, the background is soft and complementary and the framing adds interest.
