House Sparrow.

[Satish Ranadive]

"World Sparrow Day" is celebrated every year on 20th March. Hence thought to share it. My humble request to all members to shares Sparrow images on 20th March,2015.
This image was created in the last week. Basic editing. Cropped for composition. Suggestions for composition are highly appreciated.

ISO :400, 1/1000,@5.6.Manual. 550D,100-400.

Thanks for viewing ,appreciation, comments and critiques.
Kind Regards.

I like the composition as is Satish. I am assuming there wasn't too much of a crop, the lores show up well yet there is relatively much less detail in the plumage. Did tou sharpen the eye more than the plumage or did you not apply your routine sharpening protocol - something seems different to me??

This gal looks great, the IQ on it perfect. Composition is OK, but I could see a version with the sparrow and perch raised a little higher in the frame . I'm not a big fan of the broken thick perch though. I'll have to mark that day on my calendar!

[Diane Miller]

The perch works well for me -- the color is perfect for the sparrow. I'd also like to see a little more canvas below and a slight crop from the top and right.

I'll see if I can make a humble contribution on the 20th -- thanks for the information, I didn't know about it.

Great capture Satish. I love photographing these small birds and you have captured this one nicely. I would have liked to see a smaller perch.

Thanks for sharing

Beautiful view of the lovely HS in front of a terrific BG here Satish, IQ is top notch IMO. My only suggestion is to have the bird a little higher in frame.
Very nice work and a joy to see.

Thank you all for your feed back and appreciation.

Jonathan, Thank you for the feed back. I have just calibrated the lens and this is first of few images from it. I was thinking same way as you are.I have reprocessed the image. Sharpening protocol is same.
Whites spots on the perch removed.Eye lighten and pupil darken.
Regards,
Satish.
