A white-crowned Sparrow on a winter day. Picture taken last winter.

First time I upload a vertical frame. I hope the size is okay.

Nice bird catch!

Good composition!

Looks like one of those winter days with not to much light. Background looks like the content of a milkbottle but more of a gray:ich version!

Could be slightly sharper...

Did you heal possibly something on that branch on which the bird is standing? Seems like it and you can see some of your attempt to heal something on it. I'd clean it up a bit more (just below mid/left sector).

A good capture! I like the simple composition and the gray look of winter. It could be a bit sharper especially the eyes, but only a minor point.

I like that this White-crown is looking right at us. The colors look a bit muddy ... likely from poor lighting. I'd like to see a nicer frame around this.

Nice work!

Very nice pose and I like the cropping. Your sparrows are very different from ours in the UK

Thank you all for c/c.

Patrick, yes, there was some horizontal branch at the background, behind the bird. It was very faint and could stay, but I decided to fight it, and the corner was just stubborn. I tried to fix it now but it is possibly still not perfectly done.

The background is sadly what I got that day.

Michelle, thanks. I agree about the frame. I'll try to find the time to improve it soon.

Andy, lol, I am also an 'old worlder' (legal alien)

. The Americans got it all wrong - they have some 40 species of species from the Bunting family they decided to call 'Sparrows', and they call their buzzards hawks. Funny people.

Many thanks, every1.

Aww! He is really cute! It looks so "fat" and fluffy up there.
