Nice pose and eye contact, Dave. The background is gorgeous. I could see a bit more headroom on the crop.

HI Dave, I really enjoy seeing these birds. They are around my home area in winter but I rarely get a view of one. The light angle is really nice in this image highlighting the texture and details of the bird. Nice pose too. Crop looks good to me.

I think the exposure and crop are fine. He looks like he is facing the sun, cold and all fluffed up for protection from the wind. I like the eye catch. Nice BG.
THANKS

Fine detail and pose. The background provides a good complement for the bird.

Hi Dave
A very classic photograph, the Sparrow is saying “here I am, you wish your could look this good” Very god work.
