Hello :wavey:

Here's a Sparrow enjoying the rays from the setting sun :smile:

I went for the longer crop again, to help balance the branch he's sat on.

EF500 f.4 IS L

C & C welcome :smile:

Hi Alan I quite like the crop and you have done well in difficult lighting - bit more of a head turn would have been good!

Like the crop idea Alan, like David a bit more of a head turn towards you would have been nice... and perhaps remove the foliage behind the bird if you are so inclined....

I'm with Phil. Would remove the foliage at the left. Crop idea is great.

Works very nicely for me Alan!

Seems well suited to the long crop.

These little chaps seemed to have become a popular subject recently, and shots like this show why they deserve to have our lens's trained on them more often :toast:

Nice image Alan, I like the pano treatment. I actually like the first best as I think the foliage 'anchors' the left side, having said that its something that needed trying :smile:
