Old World Sparrow

Hi Folks

Caught this Sparrow in our garden this morning. As my biggest problem is backgrounds I cleaned it up slightly in this capture.

Will have to follow Al's advice and make my own?

CC's invited and always appreciated

Nice regal pose Gus. Check out the BG for noise and some edges might have layer issues - TFS.

Hi Gus - looking a tad over sharpened with too much contrast on the bird??
Also seems to be some artefacting or noise on the lower wing area.
Like the pose!!

Hi Gus Looking forward to what you will be coming up with !!!!!

Agree on this being a little over sharpened, I also have a little trouble with heavy vegetation in front of the bird with steep angles !!!
