    Nice clean image and comp. I see a light halo around the bird. Sweet pose and detail.

    Really nice little bird Ovidiu, I saw my first one ever in St. Louis, MO, only place there found in North America, quite established small population. They are so much like the House Sparrow but the brownish head and spot really make them stand out.
    Really nice capture, background, perch and sharpness lovely. TFS

    Howdy, What is your first name? I like this a lot: sharp, perfect EXP, a nice head angle, and a nice portrait. Consider taking 1/2 inch off the bottom and 1/4 inch off the top to get it back to 3X2.

    Love this image. Great pose, sharpness, exposure and background. The colors in the image complement each other very well. I agree with Alan and Arthur re halo and cropping tighter, respectively. Nice work! JR

    When you get a great background like this, I say use it, no matter whether the bird is common. Nice job on your setup.

    Nice and sharp, and I like detail and colours on the little guy. Another vote for taking a tad off the top and bottom.
