Savannah Sparrow

Gallery: AvianPosted September 11, 2013546 views6 comments

Went out early this AM hoping for another subject that didn't appear, but had some fun with the Savannah Sparrows on these Mullein plant heads. Cropped to approximately 30% of original. I am blaming that for the slight halo from just a bit of sharpening. Comments appreciated.

Sweet photo of this little sparrow posing nicely for you Ralph

Nice light, excellent details and I really like that curvy perch.

Very nice image, Ralph. That blue sky has a bad habit of resulting in a little halo. I like the curve of the Mullein head and the nice pose of the Savannah Sparrow.

Nice sharp photo Ralph. Perhaps a reduction in temperature or less yellow and blue may lower the bright warm colors and intensity for the viewers eyes.
