Not much of a migration here this spring so this is from the files from last fall. About a 30% crop. These birds are the avian answer to the energizer bunny!!!!!!!
You got that right Joe !!!! Amazing to just capture one !!!!
I like the exposure and sharpness. Peculiar pose and shape ... looks like a little round ball !!! I was going to suggest a slightly different pose but stuck on which way to go? As presented would suggest blurring the bg just a bit. Would make the bird pop even more and should look natural !!!
Hi Joe,
Since you did crop and Alfred suggested rotation..........do you have any that you could rotate along the shadow line of the tree ?? Not all of it.......just enough to remove V shape of UR corner.............that aside...if the blurring of the BG works............that will make the image pop more and just add to a very nice image as is!
Sharp, a good EXP, and a tough little s-o-b of a bird, but when you work so far off the correct light angle problems are inevitable... The bird's head is turned well away from you; if there was a better head angle the face would have been in the shade... Lastly, the bird's bill is lost in the darkly shadowed BKGR.
