It was a boring day at my feeders until I noticed a mother sparrow feeding her young.

Dennis, wonderful interaction, A wee bit tight in the frame and I might consider adding a catchlight in the eye. The perch entering and leaving in the corners is a good comp.

Agree with the catchlight ... this is a very good image, I like the intersecting perch and supper behavior. Great head angle on the baby bird!!!!!!!

Congratulations

Lovely interaction Dennis, and the diagonal pose is superb. I agree with Alan that a catchlight would be the icing on this sweet image. 8) 8) :)

This is great!
I'd dodge the catchlight, but great as is.

Nice! It looks a little soft on my monitor. Maybe a little more USM? Thanks for sharing.

A sweet, intimate shot, Dennis. Detail is good and the diagonal perch is excellent. A catchlight would be a positive touch.
