Sparrow Song

[Bob Malbon]

This Chipping Sparrow took up the perch where in the AM I always see & hear a Song Sparrow. This one was belting out quite a tune. Goose Rocks Beach, Maine - ISO400, 1/1250 at f6.3, ME, AiServo, Evaluative metering - 1dm3 - 500mmf4 on BushHawk -- Bob

Nice singing pose and setting. You could try to brighten the cones in the shade and there are some clone marks at the end of the perch. Selectively sharpening the head might look good, too.

Hi Bob I like the singing pose a lot !!

Looks like the sun angle was a little off here, breast area is a little dark, might want to lighten a bit also !! Not sure about the tree on the bg seems like too many things going on !!!

Agree with the above - Nice pose.

Did a quick QD/L and some quick and dirty adjustments - just real rough.

QM The tree in the background.
Used Shadow highlight to recover some of the shadows.
selectively sharpened the head and eye.
