An old song title but, this is no ordinary House Sparrow. This is a "Song Sparrow" ... easily identified by the streaks and dark spot centered upon its breast. A welcome visitor in the garden with it's cheerful song. Caught this one early this AM singing it's little heart out.
I was not happy with the dull overcast sky filling the background due to the perspective dictated. Since the bird lacks vivid color I decided to tinker with the overall coloring to concentrate more on the shape and detail on this little guy. (At least that's what I convinced myself I was doing) Kinda liked the outcome ... what say you?

Very beautifully presented John. Everything just falls into place here from the coloring to the framing. I love it!

Good morning swapshop,yea i,ve got an ole rooster i,d like to sell i will take a $1.50 for him obo,he,s got a knot on his head from an ole boot i flung at him.
I love what you did with this, John! With a moncharomatic color shift, you bring the attention down to the composition and pinpoint clarity. A very oriental approach to beauty.

Very good job John. I thought you were going for the infra red look. Turned that picture into a prize winner.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
I got this in the VB, not knowing whose it was, and thought that it was really kind of nice and not a usual post and I had to see whose it was. I really like the treatment on this. It makes the bird really stand out for me and I can concentrate on his form and not his color as you said.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

A delight - I agree with the others about its oriental mood - is just lovely and would look wonderful on anyone's wall. It does on my desktop :)
