Junco

Hopefully, we'll be getting more of the winter birds in before long, but it's been an incredibly warm November thus far.  This is from the same day as the Jays I posted, though in this case the flash didn't fire.  I think it turned out fairly well anyhow, though it did take some work to tame the bg.  I like the crease in the head plumage-should make it readily identifiable for the winter.

7DII, Sigma 150-600 C @ 531 mm, Jobu Gimbal mounted to blind windowsill, f/10, 1/250, iso 1000, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 EV.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  Cropped to 14 MP in a 4x5 format before resizing.  Taken at 11:27 on November 11th.

Comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks,

Pleasing angled posture!  Clean background with no distracting elements allows viewer to focus upon your subject.
I've enjoyed your series of Juncos.  One sweet image!

Beautiful Image.
The colors are beautiful, the catch light is great and the pose is spot on. Nice job Dennis.

Another nice addition to your Junco series.  Excellent detail in the Junco and I like the detail and color in the perch; they both pop against the background.

Sweet little bird in a great pose and on an interesting perch. The BG turned out well, so your time put in paid off!
Funny little ding in the forehead, or lost feathers, or whatever it is!
Nice work!
