A common little bird but he/she looked awfully pretty sitting on that plant at sunrise.

Hi Gail, lovely image. Techs spot on as always. If mine I probably would remove the two branches in the lower left corner. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful subtle lighting and the color of the smooth back ground compliments the Sparrow. I like the delicate perch and the puffed up feathers. A pleasing image.

A very pretty fluffed sparrow with a bouquet of interesting vegetation. The uniformed golden color surrounding is so sweet and pleasing. Quite the "tree" topper! very pretty...

Beautiful Gail. See this is what I always say. Your photos are just great. Beautiful composition and details with a perfect color palette. I do agree about removing those 2 bottom stems on left. Or at least the one that goes through your signature.

Here is a redo! I was in my "no cloning" frame of mind!

This capture is just great, Gail. Never seen a SOSP this puffed up. Love the complimentary colors of the perch and the background. Beautiful light.

Big fan of this, particularly as a birder who values sparrows more than more some photographers do!
The perch and brown tones are very nice. Image is greta with or without the clone job.

Very nice Gail. Great looking colors and details in this one. I like the BG colors too. The repost dose look better but either way works great. Well done

A beautifully simple image of a common little bird. Lovely color palette. Must have been a cold morning; he's puffed up like a ball.

Wow. I love this. Very Sweet. Subject, pose, comp, muted color, detail, light - lovely.
