White-crowned Sparrow

I find although sometimes I can get closer I have to back away to reduce the possibility of the bird flying out of the frame, thus more cropping.

Big welcome to BPN, Jack :)

Great first post, neat acrtion and great DOF for f/2.8
I think there may be too much room on top, taking some off would make a stronger image.

Looking forward to your next posts and feel fre to leave feedback on others, it's the best learning tool!

Well caught, Jack. I would be tempted to use a sightly smaller aperture to give more DOF and thus leeway with the bird moving from the point of focus acquisition. I agree with Fabs suggestion to crop from above and I would smooth out the light and dark streak in the bottom left corner

Hi Jack - nice first post - good eye contact and HA -- would crop some from the top as mentioned.

Looking forward to seeing more :)
