They've been back for a few weeks now already...I always love to hear their cheerful song during early spring!
Canon 7D + 500mm f4 II, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/400s., f/5, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, FF, darkened pupil, a few distracting specular highlights in the BG foliage removed (it was a bit dewy that morning).
I like the pose, setting, sharpness, details, exposure, perch, HA and composition. Very well done Daniel!
Very nice Daniel. He gave you a nice perch that allowed an unobstructed view, in nice light.
Beautiful image Daniel, wonderful exposure and I love the oof pines in the BG. Strange look to the tail feathers, is that needle sticking up through the tail feathers?
Fantastic image Dan, Can't fault your images at all never can, I aspire to the quality you achieve.
Daniel:
Lovely soft backlight, love the repetition of the needles from the perch into the BG, interesting bg without being distracting.
I could see a sliver off the right, and another version with the blue overstamped with green.
Cheers
Randy
Beautiful image Daniel! Love so much about it as well from the light,perch,pose,ha and bg! Don't think there is anything I would change. Really enjoy these birds myself.
Very beautiful image, the bird appears to be sitting on a throne
the details are lovely and the greens all over make the bird stand out
HA is perfect, love it
Lovely setting with the oof pines behind and pine perch Daniel. Sharp detail and nice eye as well, probably work nicely in a vertical as well.
Not necessary a crit, but is the slightly darker, slightly sooty tone behind the birds eye natural or was the burn tool used there ?
Excellent shot with a great perch.
very nice,sharp with good details,like the perch and soft light,enjoy your new lens.
Thanks guys! Phil, that is this fella's natural colouration. Jack, yes indeed that is a pine needle poking through its tail feathers :-)
Great perch and love the dof and background Daniel. Great to hear them singing away at this time of year.
Hi Dan, fantastic IQ, and just love the light. The little fellow certainly gave you a great pose, and I do like the perch and BG. Good DOF and sharpness on both the perch and sparrow.
Congrats on your new toy.
Daniel Sir:
Excellent image of sparrow on beautiful perch.BG and perch has given nice 3D effect to the image.
Rest as usual wonderful. Love the frame.

Satish.
