Rock Sparrow

[Volkan Akgul]

hi,
Mk3 - Canon800mm f5.6
1/1000 f5.6 iso400

criticism and opinions are appreciated. to your liking

[Jonathan Ashton]

Very nice indeed, I really like the colours and plumage details, the lores look good too. The pose with the delicately placed foot is appealing.
Whilst I think the crop is "OK" I feel the image is a little too tall.

thanks Jon,


I shot with 1dmk3 10mp. It creates problems if I do not keep the field of view wide. You added value. Maybe I could shine a little more light, that's my only contradiction

I would sharpen this a bit more. Exposure looks good.

Very appealing! Good look-back pose. Excellent background. I like the thorns on the perch. The white spot on the bill should go IMO - patch tool or content aware would work well for that.

Volkan, personally I love this composition. It's different and the way you positioned the subject and the branch work very well :-)

Beautiful even light, great look back by the sparrow and I am so glad you found some leaves on the perch. The background is killer.

I agree, just a bit more sharpening on the subject would help.

Really nice!!

thanks friends, feedback is valuable

I have never used sea bass to this day Brian, ethics are not covered here. I can use it after that :)

The thorny perch is nice. The look back pose makes this one. Nice gradient in the background.
