Savannah Sparrow

[Jason G. Harrison]

The morning I got the close up Le Conte's Sparrow shots, I also was able to capture some shots of the several Savannah Sparrows that were all around me in the tall native grasses.

Hope you enjoyed, C&C is welcomed as always.

Great shot Jason! I am not sure but I think that this is a Lincoln's Sparrow!

[Charles Mills]

Agreed it's a great shot but my ID vote is for Savannah.

[Jim Buescher]

I agree, Savannah. Good job on the EX, detail held in whites very good. Strong low angled light but you managed to keep the shadows off the bird. Wish the lower leg was visible.

Very nice Savannah Sparrow with the typical yellow dot over the eye.
Good position,sharpness and BG.
Golden grass in BG does not distract me on initial look.

[Dan Brown]

Well, I guess this is a Savannah! My bad!

[Harshad Barve]

Lovely looking sparrow nicely perched , BG is awesome

Really nice Jason. Great lighting, BG, and sharpness. What, if any, post processing did you do on this? Thanks.

[Jason G. Harrison]

Thanks for all the replies. Post processing was all done in NX2. My normal workflow...slight levels and curves adjustment, bumped the contrast, USM on subject only, dropped a color control point on the bg (which evened out the color on a stem of grass) , slight crop, and that was it.

A lovely image of a pretty little bird.

I think you could have done away with the patch on the top left, its a very personal choice, but loved the light the datils, good Ha and pose.. congrats..
