Mornig Song

[Robert Holguin]

Hello everyone. A couple of weeks ago I heard this little guy singing its heart at. It let me kinda of close and was able to snap a couple of shots. It was with a group of savannah sparrows so Im thinking its a savannah sparrow even though it does not have the yellow streak. I removed a couple of twigs around the bird.
C&C welcomed and encouraged.

Robert:

Nice calling pose, pleasant BG, well scaled perch, although I might be tempted to remove the small vertical twig on left.

My guess is that the focus point was on the wings as they appear a bit sharper than the head, and I might give the head a little more USM.


Well exposed.

Cheers

Pose, perch, and BG are all nice. I agree with Randy about your point of maximum focus.

Head softness addressed, otherwise a fine image with an excellent BG.

Thank you guys for the comments. Here is a repost with the twig removed and I added some sharpening to the head.

lovely pose and clean BG here
I agree on the sharpness/DOF issue, your repost is better but it is still evident :e3
