Sparrow With Lunch!

Wow, this little guy let you get close!  While not the most elusive of birds, they rarely let anyone get this up close and personal.  Excellent shot with fine detail... Mike

He didn't seem to be too afraid of me or my grandson.  Could be, since it was near a well traveled foot path, that he wasn't too afraid of people in general.  I took a few frames at about 10 ft. then a few more as I slowly advanced toward him.  Couldn't have been much more than 7ft. away with this shot.  Couldn't accept his offer of lunch!  I hate raw bugs. :-)  Thanks for your visit.  Best, LM.

Thanks for your thoughts.  He surprised me in letting me get so close.  Best, LM.

Exceptional fine detail and the F/ 13 setting seems to have everything in focus and sharp! 

You mean you like your bugs better cooked?

Nice work Len! 

Best Regards

No, but they must be dipped in chocolate. :-)  Best, LM.

Len, amazing details you caught here. You squeeze max from your lens!

Luck is good!  This little guy let me get real close.  Who was I to argue?  :-)  Best, LM.

I'll also eat anything covered in chocolate!

Hi Len, I just found this. Quite impressive detail, actually it's incredibly sharp. Perfect composition too. He's certainly got a beak full of food. Great work.

BR,

Sometimes the photo gods are with us & everything comes together as it should.  This is one of those lucky times.  Thanks for your thoughts.  Best, LM.

Very nicely composed and captured Len!

Thanks for your visit & positive comment.  Means a lot coming from one who walks the walk.  Best, LM.
