Spring Is In The Air

Watched these two sparrows for a bit...a romance in the making (spring has arrived).
It was cute how in this shot they were looking in opposite directions.
The original shot had a lot of forsythia branches and buds in it obscuring a good view of 2 birds,
decided to take them all out except for the one springing as they hopped about.

Great beauty and power in the simplicity
and strong composition.
The eye is carried gracefully in an arc
from one sparrow to the next.
Marvellous!
Compliments.

Love the coquettish look to the female - "no, really, I had notice you'd arrived" John

This is so excellent! Love that background and how you put the birds in like that. Wonderful composition. GMV

Pretty shot and nice work.

This is sweet, Carol. Spring is in
the air. Someday, you'll have to teach
me how to remove a background. This background
is a perfect blend.
