Love these little sparrows, I have been taking pictures of them in my garden recently. You have captured the colour in the wings and head beautifully, great focus, light and presentation. Love your photos.

I love this shot with a unique view of this cute guy. The look over the shoulder with pin sharp focus on his eye is awesome. The colors are beautiful. The soft muted background creates a perfect canvas to present the sparrow on. Such nice work, Gracie.

That's an interesting picture of this little bird,Grace!
It looks as though something 'scared the hell out of him' just before you captured this picture,doesn't it? ( The ghost of my old cat,Smokey,perhaps? : ) )
It's certainly a 'Good Show',my friend!

I like this. I gives the impression that the head of this bird is indeed backward. The bird is tack sharp, with a blurred background. I also like the positioning of the subject in the photo. I would of been nice in post production to lighten the tail feathers.Good Image.

What a cute pose this sparrow has given you! He's all puffed up looking to his right which allows such a nice view of his face, beak and a clear look at his eye! Well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones are natural. The clear green background allows a clear undistracted view!well composed and presented !

A very nice rear profile view. The focus on his eye is perfect and the slightly warm white balance is great with this brown bird. The image is well composed and the colors are beautiful.

I love this. Not only is the bird itself cute, but you did a nice job of still capturing that cuteness even at a silly angle. I like that we can still see the bird's face. Wonderful job!
