Clay-Colored Sparrow, Montana
Canon 1D4
500mm +1.4x
ISO 1000
f/5.6
1/1600 sec
I photographed this Clay-Colored Sparrow out the window of my car as I drove around Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge in NE Montana last month (I didn't figure out what it was till I get home; I had never seen one before). It had been raining most of the day, and the sparrow looked a bit wet.
I am not sure as to how to crop this. I am including full frame below. I don't want to crop tightly as I like the framing of the leaves and branches.
I did a touch of NR on background, Curves adjustment, sharpened, lightened the face of the sparrow just a tad.
Thanks very much in advance for any comments and critiques.
