They aren't named song sparrows for nothing!
Happy to sing after a passing rain shower.

Great pose! Light wasn't great but you did well with the exposure.

[Dumay de Boulle]

I think you have done well considering the light, detail looks good and a nice perch and BG. Lovely calling pose

[christopher galeski]

nice pose,love the BG.thanks.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I love the singing pose...this guy is really belting it out! I'm thinking that fill-flash would have helped here with the shaded belly. I could do without the leaves at bottom. Beautiful BG!

Really nice Dan. I really like your composition. IQ is excellent. Great BG.I like the wispy feathers on the bird's right side,
Wish the leaves at the bottom were not there but that is a minor nit.
