Chipping Sparrow on Ivy

[Caleb Royer]

I got this photo from a hide, I also used a feeder to lure in the birds.

Canon 40D
100-400mm lens @ 400mm
f/5.6
1/500 sec
ISO 160
no flash

From horizontal to vertical crop, sharpened, brightened.

C&C Welcome:)

Sharpness, BG and perch look good. I wish the head were angled toward you and if you have, I would give it more room at the bottom since the clipped tail is not ideal.

Caleb:

Nice sparrow, nicely exposed, sharp on the eye.

The head is away a bit, the tail clipped.

I like the luminosity level of the bird, but would tone down the brighter areas of the trunk, so as to not compete so much with the bird.

Cheers

Randy

PS: Sorry for the duplication, I was typing, had to answer a phone call, and by the time I posted my reply, speedy Axel beat me too it!
