    Default American Tree Sparrow.

    I always welcome this winter visitors.
    Unfortunately they are less and less as years go by.
    This year we only have one visiting our feeders.
    I cloned out some branches from the background.
    If you blow it up to 300 percent you would probably find some imperfections.
    With my vision, I did not.
    Thanks for looking.

    Hi Karl,
    I too have noticed a drastic decrease in these sparrows at our feeders. You have a great BG and a nice headturn. I like the space in front of the bird and how you have framed this. The eye could be sharpened a bit,

    Shows the bird in perfect detail, lovely shot. Maybe nit-picking but I would clone out the sprout coming from below the branch on the left.

    Nice image Karl! I like the pose, details and BG. I agree with Gail on a little more eye sharpening.

    Sharp details, nice look back pose and perfect composition. I just wish for a thinner perch.

    What a superb shot I really like the colours and fine detail. It looks very similar to the tree sparrows over here in UK, these too are in decline.
