Hello Diego, this is a good shot of the sparrow but it is a bit big in the frame and appears a little soft.

Maybe some sharpening will help. I like the background.

Hello Diego, I'm thinking "too much of the center", as the bird is indeed right in the middle of the frame. If you have canvas from the capture I would suggest giving more room on the right and top. Image does look soft, and I would expect good sharpness and DOF with the techs given. Nice exposure and head angle and a nice eye contact. I think a bit more sharpening would help.

Hello Diego,
I enjoy the detail and layering of his feathers, nice BG. /

Hi Diego,

I feel that the image could be improved by a less tight crop, with more room above and below the bird, and more room on the right, so that the bird is looking into the picture more. Good low angle and detail.

I agree with Kerry.

Thank you to all of you for taking the time to think about how to improve this image. I really appreciate your help.
