Love it too.. my favorite sparrow image yet in the motif.. I never thought a single flower could work, as the ones around here in NY always seem to big for the bird, but this just rocks..

This looks like the best of set-ups. The fact that you got this perfect perch and background along with the great singing pose in the wild is awesome.
