    Default Sparrow....Needs Caption

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    this is one breaking all the "good" rules, but it's an image that I like.
    It was a fair morning about 9 and was forced to expose for the bird.
    I think without the eye contact. it forces one to look and think about the
    emptiness, the nothing to look forward to the bird is looking into.....crazy huh?

    400mm, ISO400, f/7.1, 1/160, +.33EV, spot metered

    Need a caption please

    Hey Dave,
    I'm not creative enough to come up with a caption for you, and without a few beers, I can't begin to explore the meaning of the emptiness of the BG. I do like the picture though. The color transitions and details are enough to keep me interested:)

    Well, this appears to be a female House Sparrow, maybe in the parking lot of the local fast food joint. So, how about

    Oh, I like it too!
    I love those unusual images. This is really good, because the details and colours in the feathers are fantastic. You have to look at them, because like you said, there is no eye contact possible.
    You made a really good Exposure!
    Congrats!

    Looks like a study of feather patterns and textures to me. :) It's different. I tend to like "different" images and I like this one. Exposure, sharpness, and detail are excellent. The high-key background forces you to focus your attention on the feather patterns.

    I really like this Dave.... Different... out of the box... making you wonder what she's looking for...

    I like this too, Dave. The puffed up feathers and the excellent detail are a plus.
    Hmmm...what's in a face anyway? :>))

    I'm usually not one to harp on head angle, but personally, this doesn't work for me. I like the sharpness and texture in the feathers, but not the bird looking the other way.

    thanks for all the comments, this was taken in a McDonald's parking lot.

    Ed, I admit it "is" quite different
