White-Crowned Sparrow

Needed to be centered, as there were junky bushes on both sides.
In this case, I particularly like the well-rusted post and barbed wire, as it coordinates with the sparrow's colour and the BG

Not much of a perch, but a good bg and a near perfect picture of the Sparrow!

Excelent. Lovely colors, including the rusted post and wire. No issues for me with the composition, either.

A nice, clean look at a handsome bird. Could be a little sharper in the head area. devil
