Nice, Rob. You captured that gawky character of young sparrows nicely.

Loving the head turn and overall detail Rob. I was wondering what your settings were. The neutral BG helps compliment this little guy.

Fantastic details and nice clean bg. Great pose too. How about a bit more space to the bottom though (just my opinion)? Anyway, excellent shot!

Great detail, right down to his talons. Nice use of catchlight, too.

Really like this a lot Rob, I like the pose of the sparrow, the neutral colored background, the pink legs & feet of the bird, the light and the rusty character of the barbed wire.

Very nice details and pose. I especially like the equidistant spacing of the barbs and the bird's feet.

Cute portrait. Excellent in all details. Rob can you indicate some camera/lense details?

This is great, Rob! I love how the spikes perfectly balance the birds, and all the great angles/lines here: the bird angle up/right. the head up/left, the feet down/right, the tail down/left. Maybe a bit more space on bottom would be perfect, but this is pretty darn close!
