He's a wag!

I loved this - what is the little bird? Not like anything we have in England.

Too bad that background is so hot, otherwise this is very nice. Good color and saturation on the bird. Very nice focus and nice composition. I like that you have a nice catchlight in the eyes too.

8 - Very nice. Beautiful colors and elements. 'If only' a fraction more light on the bird, but still works well as is.

Nice job with what appears to be a difficult, high dynamic range exposure. Did you use a flash?

Cute little thing - and quite round. Very nice use of DOF, good warm supporting bokeh, and a very pleasing composition.

So cute! A very good composition showing the bird in its natural surroundings. Is this a sparrow of some sort?
