    The high key look works for me here. But maybe tone down the brightness just a bit? And wow, the detail! Looks like you had plenty of pixels on this guy. I can't help but to think that there's too much dead space on the right. I know what you're going for in the comp, but I think it's too much.

    The perch does block part of the bird, but it doesn't bother me a bit since you can still see the tail! It looks very natural. Great singing pose too!

    Colin has covered it all. Love the singing pose and high key you captured in this image.

    I'm liking this alot, Mike. This is how I see them many times, so I really like the perch even if I usually like 'em less busy. Great singing pose too. Good eye in seeing this! Song Sparrows are often overlooked either in nature or on the web - making this image quite under-rated and overlooked IMO.
