I was looking for migratory birds when suddenly this sparrow fly front me, i never see it before, like saying "look in me and take a great photo", the sun were harsh, but the bird was perfectly posed, great first meeting with a lifer

Lovely placement of the subject but seems to be oversharpened to me.

Thanks for Sharing.

Raul:

Excellent pose, like the curving perch, good depth of field. Yes, light a bit harsh.

Agree with Abdul, he is starting to look a bit oversharpened, a bit 'crunchy'

Love the detail on the near foot. Might give a sliver more room below if you have it.

Cheers

You handled the harsh light well. The eye looks great, but I do feel that the bird is slightly oversharpened. Like Randy, I'd prefer a bit more canvas at the bottom.

[Daniel Cadieux]

It is always a great feeling when we get excellent photo opportunities with "lifers"!! Well done here, but I agree the subject looks over-sharpened and also agree with more room below. Interesting perch, and nice BG.

Where was this taken? Do you know which species this is?

Excellent harsh light handling. Nice pose & perch with great details. Thanks.

Do you know which species this is?

It's a Dunnock IMO.

thanks for the critic, i agreed with the over sharping, easy to correct, good idea more space in the botton

have a good day
