I posted this bird on the other day with green background.
This time the background is blue.
Next time it will be a front view and the bird won't be touching the branch.
Thanks for looking.

Pretty cool perch (cedar?) to have the sparrow pose on. I actually prefer the backside view of the species to the frontside, which can be rather plain imo. Very nice tight portrait of this handsome sparrow Karl. A bit looser composition would also be nice. Perfect dof, nice call on the f8.
I like this a lot, Karl. Great head turn, and the perch looks pretty nifty (although I may try a version with less saturation on it). Vertical comp works well. I agree with Shawn about the backside view on this (and many other ) sparrow species. What a sweet song these guys have eh!
