If the bird itself is outstanding enough, then the BG probably doesn't matter all that much. And you don't want a mismatch between the sky (looking like a sunny day) and the bird. SOME color, mild with a gradient perhaps, might not hurt. -- jgr

May 07, 2009 08:18 | #3 Jim, I don't know about "blown", that pretty much spoils my photos, but dull gray or white, I try to add some blue. My example, not a BIF, but illustrates my approach.

I much prefer some green in the background, of course, tough to get for BIF. MIKEIVAN

I get shots like that especially with BIF shots shooting up at the bird. One Imaging Photography
