Very nice, Guy. Love all the detail including the seed in its mouth, and the exposure is spot on. The only thing I might consider doing is removing the OOF branch from behind the sparrow, and perhaps adding a little canvas on the right.

A real beauty Guy! I don't mind the OOF branch per say, but I would clone out the green bit of it touching the sparrow as well as the two orange bits almost touching it. I have to search hard to find anything else "wrong" with this image...perhaps wishing the bird's foot was not in the shadow (very, very minor) :-)

[Dave Phillips]

quite nice, agree with above......either way with oof branch

[Gus Cobos]

Very nice image and composition Guy,
I like the colors and the details on your bird...:D

[Chris Dodds]

Salut Guy!!

One sweet image. I like this as presented, and wouldn't change one thing.

Best,

Great picture! I like it the way it is! Perfect colors and contrast!
