Jim:

Sharp, well exposed, nice fill off the snow. Like the hints of brown in the BG to play off of the birds coloring.

Maybe tone down the snow on the left end of the perch he is on, to let a little more detail show.

Nice job on this little guy. Looks sharp and well exposed. Crop looks good.

Really like this shot Jim. Living in Michigan my whole can appreciate it. Maybe just my glasses but I would sharpen a tad more. Otherwise very nice.

Lovely capture, Jim. What terrific details, sharpness, angle and exposure. Love the snow.

Super job, Jim. I just love how the snow reflects back all that light so that the detail is so illuminated. Gorgeous portrait of this Tree Sparrow.

Jim - simply beautiful with great details. Well done.

I'm also a fan of the hints of color in the background, and how the perch essentially fades to white. Great IQ. Since the rest of the bird is in such sharp focus, I wonder about DOF on tail? But I like as is as well.

About as nice as a sparrow photo gets.
Well seen and well done.

Great detail and pose with clean bg. Consider toning down the snow perch as suggested by Randy.

Terrific shot!!
I really like the shooting angle, great pose, excellent feather detail, and great comp.
Very well done.

Awesome image. I don't really have anything to add that has not been said.
To me, the snow looks excellent.

Absolutely superb image.Nice colors,details and composition.

Very nice especially with the purity of the snow as a backdrop, the plumage shows nice detail and yet retains a rather nice softness that fits in well with the pure snow theme.

Nice one Jim!

Exposure on this is so well handled! Love the detail and overall impact of the image! Superbly done.
