A great shot of the little sparrow taking a bath. I like the colors and the fabulous job of cropping. Excellent details in the eye and feathers. Good luck in the contest.

What a cute and fun shot. Love the frame, sharp focus and good exposure to show the ever so cute details. Good to see some water can be found for the little ones.

Great capture of the little fellow. Nice story, hope you get some rain soon. Great focus on the chest feathers, nice clarity in the birds head. Great colours.

I like your choice of a square image for this one. Great tack sharp focus giving the feathers great texture. Nice colour and exposure. Nice angle on his head. Great placement in the frame. Awesome image. Good job.

Just waiting here for supper and to be rescued! Does not appear to be too excited that he's a little helpless at the moment.

That is until the cat comes snooping around.

A nice story telling presentation.

Thanks for sharing.

Bath time? Excellent capture. Well framed, very sharp with good contrast. You have to bathe whenever you get the chance.

A nice image of this sparrow, good clear focus giving sharp detail. The DOF is just right keeping the bird centre of attention. It would have been nice to have lost the curb but not easy at this low angle.
