Nice color contrasts; reds v greens; and sharpness in the subject v bokeh

Excellent detail, Claude, and a nice pose. I love the bg. the bright foreground leaves are a bit of a distraction, but do reflect the habitat.

Really nice detail in this little fellow. Sweet pose, BG, and greenery.
The leaves seem a bit bright, perhaps tone them down a bit?

Nice image of this sparrow. Leaves are ok by me. Nice detail in the larger version. Sharon

I like the bird pose and colors but find the light green leaves distracting.

I think you did a good job of making this bird pop in an image with some potentially distracting elements. Nice detail, color and contrast.
