Song Sparrow

Looking through some old photos and liked this one. A common bird I shot dozens, if not hundreds, of time, but this seemed better than most.

Pertinent technical details or techniques:

Canon 7D, 100-400 at 360 mm; 1/400; f6.3; ISO 200 The original background was a blue monotone and I swapped it for a sky with some wispy clouds.

I like it too, Allen. That partial head turn really helps. I am enjoying the little perch he is on with what looks like early spring buds. You did a great job switching backgrounds. It looks so natural.

Hi Allen, Nice pose - I really like the backwards glance. Well composed image with a nice thin perch. Good job with the background replacement. Well done.

Excellent over the shoulder catch on this Song Sparrow. The detail is superb. If it were mine, I would have a little less room at the top.

A simple portrait of a common species and absolutely delightful, Allen. I don’t see anything I’d change.
