Grasshopper sparrow singing

1D3 600 1.4x 1/250 f6.3 ISO800
Natural light, 75% of frame

I made several outings to get this. The several that were in the field seemed to be quite skittish, but the bag blind took care of that. One hopped up to perches occasionally, but had many to choose from. He eventually chose this one at last light.

Love the wide open beak. Lighting is just beautiful as well as perch and bg. I might have been tempted to shave just a bit off the bottom but that's just me.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great perch, BG, singing pose and light. I would only apply some NR on the BG.

[Fabs Forns]

Lovely as presented. Noise reduction iis usually a good idea on solid backgrounds.

[Beth Goffe]

I can't add to any of the suggestions other than to say I really enjoy this image (love his little tongue).

[Grace Scalzo]

A sweet image of a most desirable bird. Well done.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]
