Nice setup perch, with a sweet background. Like the posse of the "singer", well done!
I would only add a bit more space on the top, it seems a bit tight.

Lovely one Binu, great IQ, settings are fantastic with perch and the BG
with the singing pose and bird facing up i would like a small space added above if it suits you
its a beauty

[Barry Ekstrand]

Very nice shot, excellent pose. Is the BG natural or part of the setup?

Thanks Barry! The background is natural.

Very nice shot, excellent pose. Is the BG natural or part of the setup?

Nice setup here, sprucing up the image alot with those flowers. Nice perch too. I think you could get away with pruning out the larger oof flower plus its stem down to the next flower without compromising the balance of the comp (I say this because I wish is was in focus too). I'd also remove the piece of dirt(?) on the bill. The rest looks good to me, a fine job overall.

Like the composition and bird singing pose. The perch is well arranged. BG blur tone is fine and noise free. The light is little bit harsh. TFS. Cheers! Miro

[David Salem]

Nice looking setup and I like the perch and the BG you chose. The singing pose from a "song" sparrow is perfect. The light looks a bit harsh but handled well.

[Ian Wilson]

Beautiful work, well done Binu.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Nice one indeed.
Love the calling pose, light and set up.

[Greg Oakley]

Nice setup with awesome singing pose and pretty setting

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Binu, I really like these type of images with the subject placed high in the frame. Excellent singing pose with the open beak, and I like the light and DOF in the overall image.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Another killer Murphyesque shot. You're nailing these setups Binu. Keep them coming.
PS: +1 to a bit more on the top of the frame.

[Binu John]

Thanks everyone!
I've added more room on the top of the frame.

[Karl Egressy]

Beautiful setting for this singing Song Sparrow.

[Frank Schauf]

What a beauty! Love the calling pose.
