Great little birds - one of my favourites. This looks a little dark on my gear. Maybe lift the shadow detail a tad and brighten the whites. Just gamma helps a bit.
Cheers

Slight levels lift and it really pops Keith.

The only nit for me would be the perch, or rather the stripped portion of it and that very clean looking break.

But I do like the 'pose' and the BG is superb :wavey: :wavey:

Would like to have seen the perch with all the lichen on it, the bare part really detract for me, sorry Keith. If you are able to add a little more mottling into the BG it would be great.

Agree, the inquisitive pose is a belter.

Not "just" a sparrow, a tree sparrow - not common around here. Detail in the bird is excellent. Nits covered.
