    Hi Jim, good to see the sparrow in full song, and I like your placement in the frame. The colours of the BG compliment the sparrow nicely.

    The perch is delicate and complimets the bird . The open beak singing pose is a added bonus to the clean BG you have got !! Love the frame .

    Lovely shot I like it very much indeed, I like the composition but I suspect it may look even better if it was cropped in a 3:4 portrait shape.

    Thanks for the comment Daniel. No audio was used for this image. I have never used audio to bring a bird in yet. I found a spot that the sparrow landed at frequently and positioned myself so I could get the clean BG. I wanted to get an image like this for a while now so I was happy to get this one.
