Beautiful Sparrow in your wonderfully cold emitting image. Enjoy how you captured the Sparrow's colors and markings along with it's twig perch. Placement of Sparrow is absolutely perfect. Thank You for sharing.

You are very welcome

Great framing for this sweet little Sparrow with the snowy background. His muted Winter color blends right in with the surroundings. Nice placement with just a hint of bare branches peeking through. Thank you for sharing.

Looks like a good entry for the competition presented here! Like your classical, slightly, off-centre composition which gives us a great look at the bird and the location. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

The background you captured in this photograph definitely says winter. The sparrow has its feathers a little puffed to hold in body heat. These elements along with the falling snow make this a great entry for this contest. Best of luck.

A very nice shot with a color palette that really emphasizes the the cold quite well. I like the composition and the detail in the breast plumage. The flying snow is great too. Best of luck in the contest.

Thank you so much for the great review! This was taken in my backyard near my bird feeder, so he may be cold but at least he has some food to eat.
