    I captured this image along Joe Overstreet Road in Kenansville, Florida. I guess I wish that part of the perch didn't obscure the feet, I couldn't get higher, if I exited the vehicle I am sure the bird would have flushed. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Hey Joe,

    I agree on the feet. While the perch is nicely weathered and has character it is simply too big for the sparrow ... Sharp with a good exposure. It could use a crop from above and the right as there is too much dead space ... Is there something funky with the eye?

    with love, artie

    I love the simplicity and complimentary BG of this canvas. Is the eye the membrane? I would lose the hole in perch. TFS

    The background is killer. The pose and framing are right on. Nice detail on the bird in the diffused light.
