The detail on the bird is great; the bright, saturated background kind of overwhelms him.

I think the strong yellow background really detracts from an otherwise nice shot here.

That background is just way too powerful. It overwhelms things.

the yellow is just overwhelming. Too oversaturated for my taste , sorry. 6

a common bird captured really well.. great timing with a beautiful background! I wish you had cropped it a little more from the bottom to not show that blotch of brown color that they eye is getting drawn to after seeing a beautiful fall color background! 7

great colors!

Background a bit over the top and the bird seems abit soft. All this ok but biggest thing for me is the tree part that protrudes unto his beak.

The focus seems a little soft but I like the composition and the background.

Little house sparrow with a great background. Good shooting.

This seems to be such a refreshing photograph. I love the background....nice job!
01/23/2010 04:04:16 PM
The background almost overpowers your subject. Still very nice.
01/23/2010 12:48:29 PM
you made a sparrow look almost glamorous! - well done
01/23/2010 09:51:13 AM
Very nice background and composition. Seems like the bird could use a bit more light.
01/23/2010 02:55:56 AM
nice background but the sparrow is soft to my eye

the orange cast spoils this
