Very good, Allen. Excellent pose on the bird and a great perch. No nits here.

Oh I really like this Allen! Love the mossy perch for sure and the complimentary background too. Nice pose from the bird angled toward us and good view of the eye. Well done.

Very pleasing elements in the image, Allen. Interesting perch, very complementary background and nice light. The sparrow is also providing a complementary pose. Nice capture of this species.
