This is a chipping sparrow on a madonna lily seed pod. It is a setup. Cropped to vertical. Nikon D700, 300mm 2.8, 1.4tc, tripod. 1/640, f7.1, iso 400. Adjusted wb, clarity, small vibrance and saturation in acr. USM in cs3.
This is a winner! The comp is terrific and I love his little foot on the pod.A beautiful natural perch that doesn't feel like a setup.BG is so complimentary to the bird.
