I really like the pose in this one. Perch, light and BG look good, too. Is this a big crop? I'm wondering because the back seems to lack the fine detail.
This one is WAY better than the first one IMO, better pose, better light, better color temperature, nicer BG, and also to me, better IQ.
Congratulations!
Great exposure and pose. BG is a killer Juan Carlos. It appears to be a little soft around the wing/back area. Is it crop or the DOF too shallow? Thanks for sharing. It does look wonderful. :)
Nice lighting and soft BG, great EXP. Appears to be slight motion blur on the wing. Increasing the shutter speed by at least 1 stop might've helped. Great work!

What a striking sparrow. This ain't no ordinary LBJ!! The BG sets this beauty off very nicely. I'm also noticing the lask of fine details on the shoulder/back area of the bird.
Super pose, and I like the colours on him. Overall, he is sharp, apart from the area on the back as mentioned by the other guys. Superb BG. I would maybe take a bit off the bottom.
I like the background. The pose of the bird is pleasing with an nice head angle. In my opinion the placement of the bird is spot on but a little less rock might also work as suggested by Stuart. The detail is good except for the soft area on the back.
