Reed Bunting

Well the English summer has still prevented me from getting out so here is another shot from Wednesday

Canon 20D Canon 500mm f4 L IS
ISO 200 +1/3
1/800 sec @ f5.6
I think there is a little more detail in the head this time, I have modified my post processing in line with Arthur's suggestion in ABP 11. The sun (however temporary!) was pretty well direct.

All comments welcome

I like this one better. Great eye contact, catchlight and the snack adds to it. I might put the bird a bit further to the right in the frame.

I really like the composition with the perch spreading out to the right, and of course the bill-o-bugs is very neat!! I wish you did not have OOF FG elements obstructing the nice reds of the perch.

Sweeeet, sweeet, sweet. Love the mouthful and the COMP exactly as is. (Different strokes...) Love the light and the pink branches. Wish that there had not been something close to the camera on the right side of the frame--that is what caused the foggy halo on the right...
