Sparrow seem a little bit upset but I think it’s cute....

Sparrows are small passerine birds. There are 35 species in the Old World sparrow family Passeridae. The differences between different species of sparrow can be very subtle; in general, sparrows tend to be small plump brownish or greyish birds with short tails and short powerful beaks.
Sparrows are seed-eaters, and they also consume small insects. A few species scavenge for food around cities, and like seagulls they will happily eat virtually anything in small quantities.

Sparrows seem to be everywhere. Your note is interesting Sebnem, as I have noticed that they are different too in other countries. This one is hidden away quite nicely in the greenery of the tree. Well done.

Good PoV for this female House Sparrow, I think. Great colors. Your subject seems too centered, but it is personnal.
Thanks for the photo, the note and for your wishes for my birthday too ;-)

He doesn't look so sad to me. It's a very nice shot Sebnem. The colours and focus are good and the blue sky looks great. Why not try cropping off a little the greenery behind and below the bird (about 25 mm), it doesn't add mcuh to the picture and would give the sparrow more impact. Well done.

Sebnem, maybe I have already told you I face some problems when I have to take pictures like this one of yours.

You did a great job. The shot is cute. I like composition, pov and contrast because of the blue sky.

A common bird, a nice title, a great photo.

Hi Şebnem

I like the composition. The tree is as interesting as the sparrow. Good contrast.

Merhaba Şebnem,
Malta eriği üzerinde yumşak bir ışık ile güzel bir kompozisyonda yakalamışsın...
istanbulda olması çok ilginç, sol üstteki iki dal (büyük bir olasılıkla, limon) narenciye ağacına ait gibi geldi...
gökyüzündeki mavilik çok güzel...
model de şirin mi şirin...
eline sağlık... çok başarılı

It is a cutie! All puffed up against? Looks like a baby, maybe wishes to have it's mom back!

Hi Sebnem,
Very nice shot, the focus is spot on,
good details and great colours.
Thanks for sharing!

wooooow
Beautiful....It's a wonderful close-up picture!
Perfect moment and shot, my friend!
Also good composition...details....light....
Thanks Ana:)

Bonjour Sebnem

Hello Sebnem,
going through your earlier shots and this one caught my attention.
Lovely little bird in a wonderful pose. The blue sky as BG does show off the bird very well. Lovely details and the sharpness is excellent.
TFS..Sky
