The young ones are so adorable! I like that you captured the cute preening pose and how the background bird is looking towards the camera. Their feathers look nice.

lovely capture of those cute birds

nice focus and details, but the busy background is a distraction, at least for me

thanks for sharing

    galia,
    Thank you for your fairly positive review.
    Taking garden birds in their natural habitat makes it neigh impossible to get a plain uncluttered background with bushes.

and then there were three! Beautiful shot of the three sparows. They look companiable enough and yet separate. Wonder if birds have feelings for siblings?

    Thanks a million for your complementary review on these juvenile House Sparrows. They will look exactly like your cheeky London Sparrows once they complete there moult from the juvenile plumage to the adult plumage.

The photo is well focused and has good exposure. The Sparrow above seems to look critical at its companions, like a superior while the two others are fully occupied with the preening. The photo has good depth and natural colors. The birds are well placed into the frame. The composition is balanced.

A quite sweet looking nature photo posted here! Your fine and central composition does a good job of capturing some very natural bird poses. Like the way you took them close together. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

Such a pretty morning scene, the three sparrows preening to get ready for their day, I like their 3 different positions in frame and the 3 different preening poses. Well focused, nice clear image, well managed lighting, colors and tones are natural. Well composed and presented!

A fine looking shot of the sparrows. They look real cute! You have framed the shot well! The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

A very fine composition that is very sharp for being shot through a window. Maybe if I washed my windows more often I could shoot through them. A pleasant composition with good detail in the birds and great colors.
