[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Spanish]
The Sparrow is an eminently urban bird, very habitual in streets, parks and gardens. Nevertheless, we can also find it outside of the towns, (roads, grasslands, orchards, farms...), but always near the inhabited places.

Hi Vicma!

He is just cute! And the fact that you present us him in a totally wet dress adds to the value of the picture. It's very original, and therefore surprising. The spectator feels like looking at it again and again. I also appreciate the delightful unity of the colour tones.

Kind regards

Markus

Un trabajo estupendo muy higiénico con un buen bg y acertado encuadre.

Hola Vicma, Vaya baño que se pego el gorrioncillo, excelente momento, el color muy natural y una buena luz. Un sludo

Buena textura y colores. La pileta esa vale su peso en oro... ahí los pillas a todos. Alucino como podéis pillar tan bien a los pájaros jeje.

Mi amapola es fresca, lo que esa especie en concreto tiene esas texturas y colores. La clásica es la Papaver roheas. Esta es muy pequeñita y sosona, pero tiene su encanto.

Saludos.

Hello.
What a lovely picture. Perfect capture of this wet sparrow. Great sharpness and colours. Very nice DOF.

Hello VICMA,

What a wonderful whet shot of this lovely tiny Sparrow.
To see this small bird just after it was taking a bath is a very cute sight.
Extremely good sharpness, DOF and exposure do bring out the color tones and details of the feathers in an awsome way.
Excellent work. TFS!!!

This is adorable, Vicma, this sparrow is all wet and it even seems pitiful a little bit... but, there is light in its eye. Beautiful shot with a great pov, nice creamy background and nice bubbles as a bonus in the water. superb!

That is a very sharp shot of this very wet sparrow.
I really enjoy watching these urban birds performing their ablutions in the city fountains. They look so funny.
The details on this one are so sharp, and the colors are well saturated.
Great pose and wonderful expression.

Hi Vicma,

This poor little wet sparrow is so cute! The wet feathers and face are wonderul with fine details and colors. He looks so sad - maybe he is begging you to dry him off. The background is just perfect and everything in the picture blends together so well.

Hej Viktor,
en mycket fin bild. ;-) practice some Swedish ;-)
I think this is taken from your hide.
The Sparrow looks very nice, maybe it was to hot so he have to take a nice bath.
Well composed with fine details and lovely colours.
Well done, my friend.
Greetings to all from Siv and me.

This Sparrow is thoroughly wet and enjoying it, Vicma.
Must have taken a bath in the rain water on the ground?
I like your low POV. Gives a different perspective to the bird.
Very sharp and colourful capture.
