Hi Jim,

Nice capture! I like the way that all of the visual lines lead to the Sparrow. Well done!

Nice bird, on a nice image, Jim.

I would add a little more room to the right, if possible.

Good colors. The lichen on the log complements the colors on the sparrow.

I like the pose, techs look great as well Jim. I am wondering how this may look as a 2x3 instead of a 4x5 crop? Then you could crop out the dark black line from a branch on the top of the frame.
