Nice look back John with a clean BG, raindrops and the wet perch. Well done!

[William Dickson]

Very nice John. Love the pose with a great HA. Lovely looking BG which shows the bird well.

Very nice IQ, good composition, great BG, and perfect head turn. I do wish there were more raindrops present, and for that reason I'd may be tempted to remove them. Most tend to ignore this species, glad you did not!

[Walker Noe]

Good composition and great detail and BG. I agree that the raindrops could be removed. Well done nonetheless.

Hi, John. great image. I like song sparrows too; they often pose nicely as they sing and you can get close. I would NOT remove the raindrops. They really add to the wet look of this image.
