Maybe I should have called it Dogwood with Chipping Sparrow. Taken out of my back door at setup next to feeders and water bubbler. I like the image, but the perch may dominate a bit too much to call it a 'bird photograph'. C&C appreciated.

It appears as though the light was quite harsh. I like the bird but find the BG very gren ( did you increase the saturation?) and the dogwood branch overwhelms the bird.I'm not loving this one Bill!!

I like this, Bill. I think the composition is very pleasing-the bird and dogwood branch are complementary in their placement in the frame. Nice head turn, catchlight, sharp details, and colors. The shadows don't bother me.
