Lovely shot, Reminds me of the song -
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me

Hi Dick! You made a superb shot! What was he telling you? ;))

Blogtrotter is back to the «urban jungle», which Reykjavik is far from being... ;)). Enjoy and have a fabulous week!

what a big-looking bird - although I know how small they really are.

This is a real beauty. The bird is tack sharp with great catch light, and the blurred background suggests the slightly agitated state of the bird with its ruffled feathers. I have a real visceral reaction to the claws digging into the bit of wood. Well done!

Coincidentally, by the end of the week I expect to be posting a few bird shots on my own blog. One more abstract first, however.

GMG said...

Hi Dick! Came back to check this amazing shot...

Blogtrotter is now showing that Reykjavik is not entirely grey... ;)). Enjoy and have a fabulous weekend!
