Interesting perch and a cool pose with good eye contact. A little more DOF , but you were already pushing it for the light you had. Perhaps a little more noise reduction on the background?

Nice color contrast between the bird in the background. The perch really fits in well with the background. The pose is very pleasant giving one a very good look at the eye.

Nice photo of the Song Sparrow, Jim. I particularly like that the perch is all in focus, with the lichen it has on it. Well done.

Lovely composition, pose & bg, Jim. I haven't used Dfine 2-did you use it to soften the bg or what? Really nice image.
