A stately young house sparrow (Passer domesticus) rests on a bright green pine branch. This graceful bird is a cheerful creature, always playing with conspecifics, producing bright chirping whistles. Often underestimated for its dull calm colours. But if you take a second look at its plumage, you see that this bird has very beautiful colour markings to match nature. For several days now, I had been admiring the sparrows along with all those other birds that came to search for food among the trees every day. To make the bird look as good as possible in its natural environment and also highlight its tranquillity and beauty, I waited patiently for the right light and sitting position. Nature does not let itself be forced in this respect and it looked like the sparrows were playing a game with me. The camera moved from left to right, top to bottom and vice versa. Sometimes I took a picture anyway and just missed the right eye or background. At one point this sparrow comes and it seems like this sparrow is eager to be photographed. In an ideal spot, the light from the right angle, on a nice branch and far enough away from the background for a nice effect. Got it, the wait has been rewarded courtesy of this photogenic Sparrow.
A photo worthy of getting a nice spot on the wall.
