Good to see the Sparrow, these have vanished from the city and now we find a few that are left in villages. The catch-light is nice, however there isn't much you could do about the OOF twigs on the left. Next time you can photograph these sparrow's at new cottages area in JLR Bandipur. Most of time they come to the balcony:001_smile:

Nice composition. The perch and the details look good. I am fine with the OOF twigs on the left, wish the white pillar (?) on the right was not present. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with the previous comments. Wildlife photography is challenging as one needs to create a pleasing composition and one can't change or remove the elements. We can just change our position to exclude or minimise the elements.

There are some sharpening artifacts visible. So lowering the sharpening would be better.

Cheers,
