    Very nicely captured!

  3. Malta Photography Malta Photography Says:

    Nicely captured. The bird might have been resting thats why it appears to have one leg. I like the detail of this shot and that green contrasting makes a very nice effect.

  4. Anurag Anurag Says:

    Nice shot, great focus - just that the few white spots in the Out of focus background (God knows what are they) are extremely distracting. They should definately be cloned out.

  5. Pauline Jones Pauline Jones Says:

    This is a lovely shot and I don’t find the background at all distracting.

  6. Jacky Says:

    Great Shot. I like the green moss on rock. Nice to see photo’s that are not all landscapes.

  7. Renee Renee Says:

    Looks very innocent! ;)

  8. Yuliya Says:

    Great shot, lovely colors and composition. Love the depth of field on this one.

  9. Marie Dunphy Harding Says:

    Lovely shot! I believe he posed for you.

  10. Tom Says:

    Cute subject. Nice composition.

  11. Sue Gagnon Says:

    What a sweet capture of this fledgling, complete with the moss on those rocks….this was very nicely done! Plus, I’m a sucker for the wildlife photos, so you’ve got me hooked!! Good work, Francis. ;)

    The bird itself is very sharp, but the very large oof part of moss in the foreground distracts a little bit too much if you aks me.

    So cute! The bird looks like a French sparrow!
