I wonder if it could be nicer! As per me, it's very well done.
I recently visited a bird sanctuary, and realized how tough it could be to capture birds! ... (I do partially blame my lenses though ;-) )

How to make an ordinary sparrow look spectacular. I suppose that's what good photography is all about. I'll get there one day. Thanks Rick. Great shot. PAUL
