C&c very welcome.

Certainly a very colourful and eye-catching image, however in this instance I find the background just that bit too saturated and colourful and find it slightly over-powers the main subject.
A good pose from the sparrow though with an obliging head turn towards the camera.

I like the background, but I think that Justin has a point and it could do with toning down a little.

Hi Keith, this really stands out and is really different. I really like it but I suspect it might split opinion as Justin says.

The Spadger is superb ! but I worry about the background. But then i don't because that's how it was !! So- brilliant !

Very nice pose and picture, but I agree with Justin about toning down the saturation.

Wonderfully detailed image of a tree sparrow. When I first opened the image it was the background that overpowered the senses but after looking at it for a while it is the subject that stands out and the background becomes just that.

Thanks to you all,take the point about the background but that is how it was but it's very interesting to hear others points of veiw.

Keith that BG really does set of the subject well.
Great bird.

Although the BG is a little bright, the fact that the Spadge really pops against it makes the shot work IMO, fantastic detail in the bird too.

Andy...

really like this, the background is great, i don't like the tail position though, wish it was stuck out to the left

I find the BG a little distracting & would agree about the tail. Otherwise a really nice image of the little blighters !

Hello Keith.

I find the Sparrow great and the pose and composition are very nice. Background is a little to bright for me. As as John said if thats how it was then its fine..

Hi Keith

I also find the BG a little bright but still a very nice image!

David

Thanks for looking and your helpful comments.
