    I decided to spend the evening yesterday trying to get few song birds and came back with few! Taken at Don Edwards NWR, the settings were

    7D, Sigma 50-500mm @500mm on Gitzo/Mongoose
    1/800 sec, f/6.3 Mode: Av, Evaluative, ISO: 800

    All C&C are welcome...

    I like the pose. The repost is certainly sharper. To me, the bird looks a bit overexposed.

    Repost much better. Might try a bit de-SAT. Even with the light from the right, taking a step to the left might have been a good choice; it would have avoided the merge with the pretty branch and made it easier to get rid of the plain twig.

    Hi Artie, thanks a lot. I actually did the reverse!... here is the one with a bit of de-saturation. I was interested to see if the bg is more of a distraction or part of the composition and you answered it

    Better--perhaps just a bit darker overall now. I am getting OK typing with two hands even with a fat bandage on the left middle finger. Thanks again for your note.
