Nice shot. Good BG, very sharp exposure. I wonder if getting rid of the plant would help
get more attention to the main subject....

Nice shot Lon- Great details in the bird and I like the BG. The branch works for me-it adds an environmental element.

Beautiful lighting, reminds me that is what it's all about. I think the image would be a bit stronger if the feet were fully visible, not sure why I have to see the feet? I think I am seeing some artifact (cloning?) just in front of the breast, but could just be part of the background. D200 at iso 160 is killer and the 200-400 is also a potent weapon for its short minimum focus distance.

I think this is great - so natural. Love the composition and the light on the bird and detail in the feathers is excellent. My type of image. Graham

A lovely image as posted Lon, I like the pose, the light in the sparrow's eye and feel that the vegetation adds a nice sense of place to the image. Nice sharpness, colors and details. Thanks for providing the larger version, the details really stand out in it.
