Sunbathing

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
I caught this bird sunbathing on one of the first 'warm' days where the sun decided to show itself. In fact, I was torn between taking a photo of the sun or the bird - in the end, I caught a little of both.
The twigs can be annoying, but this fellow stayed so still that I walked by him twice before I noticed him. There had been a pretty little finch I had my eye on, but he was so skittish that I couldn't get a bead on him, so I settled for this one instead. In the end, he made the better photo anyway because the lighting was better. I love the shadows and the light - it reminds me of spring - of winter letting go (the darkness) and spring bursting forth (hence the light). Spring, I know, is coming! |

Kathy,
Very beautiful photo of the bird sunbathing, it does look like it's enjoying the sun. Nice warm color and good composition, could have been a little sharper.

Kathy,
Very good shot of this male English Sparrow. Good composition with nice natural colours. I like the twigs myself, they seem to add depth to the photo.
I agree with Waylim, the focus is just a little soft. I played in workshop to see what I could come up with, without sharpening too much, which is a thing I have the tendency to do. Nice job! TFS
Ron
