Singing Song Sparrow

I was lucky enough to have it sit and sing for me as I took a few images. I did have to trim his bush a bit for this presentation.

Super comp looking into space, and well timed to capture the open beak. I like the light in this too. Great capture Kim.

I am not a big fan of square format but I like the empty space in the right side of the composition. I think that this one also would work fine in vertical format.The eye contact is fantastic and I like the open beak a lot. :-)

Kim nice sharp bird here. I like the catchlight in the eye, the open bill and the hint of new leaves.

Very nice head angle and singing pose. The BG on the right looks uneven, maybe from cloning.
