    Default Savannah Sparrow (Newfoundland)

    Took a break from shooting seabirds and turned my lens on this little brown bird. Sparrows don't get much respect from photographers, but -- as a hardcore birder -- I love given them some lens love!

    Background is ocean on the sun-drenched morning.

    Canon 600mm f/4 IS II + 1.4x III on EOS R5
    1/2000 at f/5.6, ISO 640
    All processing in LR. Forewent Topaz since this is nearly full-frame at low ISO.

    A very clean image Dorian, perfect light and only a whisk of shadow.I like the crop.

    Dorian:

    You took a very flattering image of this LBJ. Color harmony is nice.

    The slight diagonal of the rock helps the image to be less static.

    I might consider a small crop from below, just above your watermark perhaps, so that foreground isn't quite to dominant in the picture, but just personal taste.

    Cheers

    You are right, sparrows often do not get much love unless it's a stray or other rarity. I love the lichens matching the yellow eye stripe. Perfect head angle.
