    Default "X" Marks the Spot!

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    This American Tree Sparrow chose a pretty neat perch to wait its turn at a bird feeder! Once it took off, all the snow dropped off and the now-bare branches uncrossed due to the springing action, insuring for a unique not-to-be-reproduced image

    Canon R6 + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/640s., f/5.6, ISO 3200, handheld, about 85% FF.

    Hi Dan, really neat image. Your usual spot on techs, love the crossed branches and title of the image. Thank you for sharing,

    Yeah, bird cracks on the snow. Wide-ish view works well. Perch is certainly unique, so nice job on that! Lovely eye contact.

    Love the snow covered branches and x pattern. Bird looks great against the snow. Nice work!

    Sweet frame Daniel. Love the simplicity of it all.

    The colors on the sparrow are accentuated on the snowy palette. The architecture of the canvas is different and presents well.

    Good details all around - I feel like a fire and a warm bowl of chili now :-)
