Jim very neat crisp image, bird looks nice and sharp and a lovely b/g that shows the bird off to it's best.

Cheers Keith.

Nice one Jim.
My personal taste would be to have a little of something in the back ground but no big deal. Grand looking bird whatever.
Cheers

Hi Jim, love the forward pose, and looks like the light was really kind to you. Excellent detail and sharpness where it counts, and the colour of the BG works for me.

[William Dickson]

Very nice image Jim. Perfectly sharp, very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing

Hi Jim.

Nice bird, pose, eye contact, perch, sharpness where it matters, color, and background. One small nit is that you could have made the tail sharper if you had stopped your lens down more.

Hi Jim,
Excellent pose, perch, sharpness and eye contact.nice colors and BG.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I love this. I especially like the raised crest and superb details on the face and neck. Neat perch and the yellow/green BG is beautiful.

You nailed this one Jim!
great everything- light, BG, appropriate size perch for bird, IQ.
The only thing that could have improved this image is to have the sparrow more parallel to you.
Lovely as is,
Gail
