Taken last month when the fall colours were at their peak.
The bird itself is not so colourful, so the BG helps.
Nikon D300; 300mm; f6.3@ 1/640th; ISO 320; HH; approx. 50%FF.
All comments, especially criticisms, welcome

Nice BG. I would brighten the bird and perch.

Very nice feather detail, pose, perch and striking background colors, way to go.

I too like the BG, and the detail looks good on the bird. Could be my eyes playing tricks on me again, but in the larger version the perch looks noisy and a bit softer than the smaller version.

A very pleasing image. Great detail on the branch compliments the Sparrow in a most interesting way.

A super BG. I too might try lightening up the bird and perch a bit. I like it as posted too.

Very nice as posted, Tom. If it were mine, I wouldn't brighten anything
