sparrows

[boun]

Hi I took this shot recently and was wondering does this composition works? I am also not so sure about brightness? Should I crop this empty space on the right, or maybe the other sparrow who's not so well focused? Is it me or do you see white little grains that look like result of high ISO? Please gimme a piece of your mind about this all comments are appreciated
tnx

I like the shallow DOF you're using here to make the background less distracting. Unfortunately the red blob in the background is still the most colourful thing around and my eye keeps being drawn to it - if you think your pp skills are up to it, just make it white like the rest of the thing its on.

I can't really see a way of cropping out the sparrow that is a bit blurry, so I would crop the photo so that the in-focus sparrow is on the bottom third intersection using the rule of thirds.

Your ISO is pretty low, so I wouldn't worry about that; besides I don't see the white spots you do, so I think you're over-critisising yourself :-)

One other thing I'd do is play a bit with your curves/levels to bring out that lovely rich brown of the wings.

Hope this helps

I'm very thankfull for you commenting on this picture
I agree about this red spot behind them, also crop would look good, but I probably wont try pp on this, cause this is my first bird picture
your comments are going to be very usefull next time I try to compose picture, thanks again and cheers
