hi Jon ... a really cool small in the frame BIF shot !!!
all looks basically very good to me .... the sparrow looks sharper than the tern and both are flying .
nice work and glad she flew off to the rhs .
personal pref ... I would ´invest ´a bit more time in the subject and the fg / bg .... but this is just me . just to give the overall scene a bit more punch

Hi Andreas -
yes I know what you mean, I have done that in some shots to follow.

It looked ok at the time.

I rather like it. The pose looks great, and with the sparrow still angled towards us. I could live with a version with a bit less below as it is bordering dominant down there, but still good.

I ratter like it too. The foreground looks fine to me. I think that it would look pretty good as a 3X2. The only that that bugs me a bit is the merge of the tail with the seed head.

with love, artie

I noticed that too Artie, I have more but they have a send sparrow on the plant which is OK but for the fact that a stem crosses his head.
