Chipper

A beautiful little Chipping Sparrow captured near last light. Lots of folks pass up these common little birds, but I think they're handsome, and I like their happy attitudes!

50D, 700mm, Iso 400, 1/50, F8 LARGER version included. Thanks for your comments and critiques...I appreciate and learn from them all! Sharon

Very nice Sharon, while quite common I've found they're tough to catch out in the open on such a wonderful perch as this (at least very long). The weathered perch along with the warm BG makes this a most pleasing image.

Very nice Sharon. Nice detail and excellent BG. He really gave you a near perfect profile pose.

Beautiful shot, Sharon! Well worth keeping. Perch, angle, eye contact, detail and BG just about perfect.

Perhaps it is a common bird but I can't say that for the image. The perch, background and lighting make this a stellar image. Really well done.

Lovely details in this Sharon and a great bg. For me the comp is too centered, if you have more space on the right I would use it or it would be easy to add canvas if you wished to.

Bird and perch are great, but the wonderful soft BG colors make the image for me ! Well done, Cheers, Hans
