    Since I'm on a sparrow run, we'll move to Swamp Sparrows. More difficult than your average sparrow to catch out on an isolated perch. Probably my best of this species from this past winter. Taken last November.
    I know the BG is a little busy, but I find the vertical lines less distracting than a bunch random branches and leaves in most of my other images of this species. Can't remember if I used audio. Pretty sure it was taken
    from the window of my vehicle. Processed with Topaz DeNoiseAI.

    Looks great to me Jack. I actually really like the background, almost a "teak" wood style finish, and how it almost matches the bird, but still contrasts nicely. Love the pose, sharpness, details and HA on the bird. Very minor nitpic...would have preferred the vertical to the right of the bird to be darker to match the others. Cheers.

    I like the bird in habitat image, the bird is nicely shown and details are very good.
    The black feathers on the back appear to be pretty much jet black.

    The bird is well exposed and sharp, I like the background but would tone down the stalk to the right
