    Nice light, BG, perch and pose. I would like to see the head tilted just 1 or 2 degrees more toward you though.

    Well Done!

    I love the composition with the plant, a better HA would be nice though,
    can you tell us more about the BG, Did you average or blur it?

    I really like your series of sparrows.

    Thanks, Ilija! I didn't change the BG, it is the color of the meadow. The perch is quite tall and the BG several hundred feet away.

    Lovely leafy perch, and where do you stop, so as not to cut off the tips of the leaves. Sitting proudly, sharp and I like the colours. What a killer BG too.
