Really nice pose from this guy/gal. The caterpillar and flowers add a lot.

Great shot, Jim. I love that the sparrow had a caterpillar in his mouth. The side turn of his head really adds to the image as well. Nice detail in the feathers.

Very good, Jim. A lovely pose and the food for th e young 'uns is always a plus. The background is nicely blurred while maintaining enough definition to provide a sense of habitat.

A very nice close-up of this sparrow, Jim! I think the flowers on the right balance the composition nicely and the caterpillar in the mouth is a nice bonus also.

I like everything about this photo, including the de-noising to get it to an acceptable level, I like the habitat "grace notes" as well, except the large purple blob top right.
