Canon D30, Canon 600mm f/4, ISO 200, RAW, 1/180, f/11, Photoshop, levels, slight USM, cropped ~ 20%

This is from a series of Henslow's Sparrow images I took this last spring.

Glad I found you guys again. The other forum is a bit lacking lately.

Good to see you posting here. This is an excellent image IMHO. I really like the crop and the image was made at peak action. The grasses on the right add a great deal of interest contributing to the overall success here.. Very sharp with a little singing action in the upper bill.. Terrific post..

A lovely image, Terry. Sharp as a tack with good action. If it were mine, I'd crop a bit from the right.

I like the sharpness of the grass and the crop which makes the grass part of the main image. The pose of the singing bird is perfect! Cloning the green balde of grass at the tail may be all that is needed. Well done!

Great action! The grass compliments the sparrow beautifully, and the green BG sets it off.

Very nice! :D 8)

Terry,

This is gorgeous! The habitat with the reeds going in the same direction as the bird really make this image standout. The open beak gives the image action and tells a story. Technicals are spot on. Killer image! :D
