This image was made a couple of years back in Utah at Sunset.

Shot with D850 and 600 f/4 and 1.4 TCIII

Let me know your thoughts and comments.

I like how the sparrow is captured while it looks around to see if it is safe to eat its snack! Good moment, the story comes through.

I'm a beginner on post processing (and generally would rather be shooting), but I wonder if the background could have a little more separation from the subject in lightness or darkness? A little more contrast? Maybe also play around with a tad less space to the right of the bird, though I like how it is looking into more space than on the left. If it was centered, I don't think it would have the sense of imminent motion, as it does now. That's another strength in the photo (to me).

I like the photo, thanks for posting!

The edge between the bird and the background looks very hard especially on its head. Was a mask used on the bird to separate it from the background?
