Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

A bird that seems to be more comfortable around people than most. I was sitting quietly in the sand dunes while this sparrow was flitting all around me, sometimes in the beach grass or on the sand, but I waited patiently for it to land on this piece of drift wood.

Specific Feedback

Any thoughts appreciated.

Technical Details

Canon R5; 100-500 at 176 mm; 1/1000 at f5.6; ISO 100

This is gorgeous, Allen. Until I read your description I was starting to wonder if you were getting into replacing backgrounds. It is absolutely perfect for the bird and perch. The singing pose is also excellent.

Really fine Allen with great details throughout on the bird. Love the swirling background. So complimentary to your subject. Singing pose is wonderful too. Well done.
