    Very nice head angle and clean BG. You did a fantastic job with the flash. Very nice work!

    Very nicely done. Lovely BKGR, sharp, and a great SUBJ. You might try selecting the iris with a Quick Mask and then lightening it (for a more natural look). (Note: levels on an adjustment layer = Contrl M.) (Thanks to Robert O'Toole for that!)

    Great capture of the lowly house sparrow, a very pretty bird in my opinion.
