Shooting through foliage trying for a different look...
Shooting through foliage can be tough.
Not a bad image but the ghosting green in front of the eye keeps it from the brilliance a clear view would give.
Can be difficult but waiting a touch for the bird to turn its head or moving a touch one way or the other can solve it.

Great. It looks like we have another spambot on the forum...

If you refer to the author of the text you quoted, that characterization seems unlikely. The individual has over 1000 posts and the account is about 16 years old.

Perhaps he's just trying to imitate a spambot... sort of like you do.
Anyway, I've finally managed to get rid of the last of my Fuji gear, so it's time to kick this thread to the curb, too... for some unfortunate reason, the Fuji forum (much like the Nikon forum) seems to attract more than its fair share of crackpots.

I did not know that using "Quote" would not show the image I was referring to.
Nowhere did I say the photographer was not good or the images terrible. Just small things that stand out to me which can be avoided or taken care of to improve things a bit.

We're heading up to Queensland, Australia in a couple of months. We were originally going to drive, now the wife wants to fly and rent a car when we get there. This is fine other than the 7kg carry on weight limit on Australian fights. I dusted off the X-H2S and 150-600mm lens to see if it's worth hanging onto for another few months.
The cold arrived with November here in New York City. Many of our trees are changing color with peek color very soon. As I walked through the woods in Kissena Park, I was on the lookout for birds and wanted to capture photos of them with fall color. This field sparrow flew into a small maple tree on the side of the trail and I had just enough time to compose and take a few images before it was off.

Very nice photos. What did you take to Queensland?
Thank you
I ended up taking the X-HS2 with 150-600mm lens. Just as well, everyone on the flight had their carry on baggage checked for size and weight prior to boarding.
We arrived home last night.
A few of the birds I managed to get photos of. There are plenty more, I just need to work my way through them.
Thanks for the information. The weight limitations you mentioned make sense as to the choice of camera and lenses.
I have two lighter bodies, the Fuji X-T5 and OM-1 that weigh about the same. The MFT lenses (100-400 or 300) would be lighter and smaller on the OM-1 than the 150-600 in the X-T5.

The tree is actually sweet gum tree (Liquidambar styraciflua) and not a maple.
