Sparrow

Please critique. Thanks, HJD

Pretty much perfect. Good balance of objects, sharp focus on the main subjects with good blurring of the unimportant background. The only shame is the slight blurring of the branch which becomes more visible as the resolution of the print is enlarged.

Excellent Howard. My goodness, what patience you must have. These birds would certainly not adapt to my style of taking photos!

Gorgeous photo

Yes John, and how would you convince any of them to take off their feathers? :-0

 

Howard,

 

very well done. Great background coloring and DOF. Agree with john about the branch - minor though. Over all, great execution.

Nice background blur and detail on the bird.

Nice capture, Howard.

Really nice DOF and composition. Nice one, Howard.

I believe it's a female red-winged blackbird, not a sparrow...

Very nice and very clear! I also like the dark background

 

Cheers

This is a Red-winged Blackbird.
