Birds are not silly and take every opportunity that is given to them. This is so cute and beautiful even if it is a sparrow. So well taken with sharp clear details. beautiful. Just voted for it. Sandy

So cute and such a relaxed shot of a bird. I like the muted background and I guess what is the sprinkler on the right. Cute little bird.

Nice job of getting in close on this little guy! Good focus and sharp details. Like the details in the feathers. Also like how you caught him with his head turned to give us the best angle. Nice colors and color harmony. Good story telling ability and center of interest. Very good visual and initial impact. Your lighting and exposure are well controlled.
Very good technical excellence with nice techniques.

Congrats!
