Tjie,
This is a beautiful looking bird, very well captured. I would prefer a little more room on the left and perhaps a little less of the wire perch

Good detail in the sparrow and a pleasing background. For me the image it too tight in the frame. I would like to see more room left and right and a LOT less on the bottom.

I would agree that a crop from the bottom would help a lot. Background colors are very pleasing. The bird looks great, too bad we can't pick where they land Tjie.

Great look at this interesting sparrow, Tjie. Techs are spot on. Agree with the others about taking a bit off the bottom.

Excellent detail and pleasant background. Agree with a crop off the bottom.
