    Default Field Sparrow

    This is another image of a field sparrow that I made yesterday. This bird was quite vocal and fortunately didn't care about me approaching him.

    Lovely image Axel. Great singing pose. Simple perch with a nice splash of color. Top notch exposure and sharpness. Well done!

    Axel, I like the soft light and colours in this, and well timed to capture his calling pose. Lovely perch, and overall, nice and sharp. I would maybe take a bit off the bottom, and add the same amount to the top. Not a nit, just a personal thing.
