Watched this song sparrow for a bit feeling the warmth of spring upcoming. (However early this morning we were getting snow here, go figure)

Photographed near Burnaby Lake, BC

Thanks for viewing and I appreciate any comments.

Beautiful shot, Darren. I really like the perch and bg and the detail in the sparrow is excellent.

I like the overall feel of this image Darren. Nice and sharp on the bird's head and the perch adds IMO. The BG fits this bird well. Nice shot.

Lovely image Darren, and the soft tufts of the catkins sure give me a feel for impending spring time weather.

Lovely detail and background Darren. Any chance of tweaking the shadow/highlights a little and get some more detail into back half?

cheers
Rob
