Brown Creeper

[Mike Dale]

It been murky outside for most of the day, snowing, grey and cold. I decided to revamp one from a couple of years ago when I first got my D200. It's a Brown Creeper which is a regular visitor to my backyard. Nikon D200 300 f4 1/250s @f5.6 ISO 250

This is very nice! Good details, eye contact and BG. The snack adds a lot to it. I might crop a bit off the left.

Very lovely, great BKGR, great background, sharp. With images like this I try to think in terms of vertial thirds... Pointing the lens to the right would have allowed you to create a stronger COMP. As is, I would crop a bunch off of the left.

IAC, I got nothing on this bird so my hat is off to you.

later and love, artie

this is a fantastic shot of this species !!!
I agree on the comp. It's always very tricky with woodpeckers and creepers etc, but here I would have also preferred to see a little more of the dead tree.
In this case I would crop a little from the top and more from the left

Hi Mike,

I like the BG, colors and details. Perhaps a little head turn would be great!

[Fabs Forns]

Very nice and good crop suggestions. Sweet background and light!

Despite much trying, I have no brown creepers. Good job with this, love the bug and the spot of yellow above his tail, not often seen. His wing feathers look ever so slightly over sharpened to me.
