Image
Canon EOS Rebel T5
Canon IS II 100-400mm
f/5.6 @1/640
ISO 200
400mm

Limited editing in Lightroom. I did remove a small twig in the left hand corner.

As a student in an introductory bird photography class, it was suggested that I post some shots to learn from others on this forum. After reviewing all of the wonderful photos on this forum for a few months, this is my 4th photo that I have posted here.

Thank you very much for any comments and critiques.

Nice singing pose and clean BG. maybe compose the bird more to the right , cut down on the canvas and have a portrait image as an option.
