Ordinarily I would not go on with an image where a blade of grass crossed the bird, but somehow I liked this one and the interaction of the grasses. It was a hard one to find a crop for and still retain the essence of the habitat. Hope it works.

Nice treatment.

I am rarely bothered by a blade of grass crossing a bird-it's just natural. This one makes a nice diagonal. This looks very nice to me-rich fall colors.

Works for me Bonnie -- I like the painterly treatment and the bird's pose very much. A classic!

The "V" formed by the grass blade and the dock's seed head frames the sparrow nicely. You could crop 25% of the top, right , and bottom to make the sparrow more prominent.
