John, good job on getting the eye in focus, good job on exposure, I do think the oof focus branch in front is a little distracting.

Hi John. The grey of the branches works nicely with the grey colors of this understated sparrow. I get the feeling of the winter lighting and temps of winter on the prairie. Glad to see I'm not the only one who has to do a little nature photography even on Christmas Eve. :smile:
