Rufous-collared Sparrow

[Ilija Dukovski]

Hi there,

I spend most of last week in Costa Rica with my folks,
hence my absence here :)
Here's a little guy that gave me such tough time. Of all the
natural beauty of the majestic country, he decided that the
perfect perch for his arias is a road sign. What do you think?
Does it go to the trash?

Cheers,

Like the open beak singing pose - good HA and eye contact - think maybe the bird could use a tad more sharpening.
Like the BG but not crazy about the sign :( the angles of the top edge and the front edge give it a weird perspective to my eyes. Interesting to see what others think.

I would keep Ilija Still is a nice image best you could do from your position .... btw maybe the little bird was lost :)

OK great, I have a bunch of them around this sign,
Al, I think the bird was trying to park, if I remember correctly
it was a parking sign :D

I like the capture, you have good sharp details and good color rendition with a good head angle...:cool:
