One of the prettiest varieties of sparrows that I see at my backyard feeders are the occasional Harris Sparrows. Taken Dec 20th. Have a great weekend everyone!

Nice classic shot with great choice of DOF. No nits from me.

Great detail but softens towards the tail. I especially like the head and breast areas.
Featersh contrast nicely with the wood grain.

A fine shot. The tail was somewhat behind the plane of focus and thus a bit soft. Must give better instructions to the little fellow when posing! Whites around the face seem a tad hot, but not enough to detract from the photo. It is as handsome bird.

Nicely done Wayne!

Real solid work, Wayne. The exposure looks perfect to me, and the image is tack sharp around the eyes, where it counts. Looks like there was some nice filtered light when you shot this. The background is great too. Thanks for sharing!
