Bedraggled

This sparrow kept trying to shake himself off in our crape myrtle in back. I can’t imagine where he got so wet.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Winter color, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/800s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso160 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

A spectacular pose captured with superb clarity, lighting and detail. Hopefully the sun will help this sparrow dry off. Your DOF and and tight framing are terrific. A wonderful image Helen. VV++

Sure is wet-looking, but you captured it well in its missery.

Super capture of the soggy sparrow!

The framing is very nice. I like the details on its feathers. Maybe a sprinkler got him. V

Nice portrait of a wet bird it was his time for a bath found a puddle water and went at it.
Nice resolution and nice upward composition.

Cleaning up for Christmas? Those sparrows do give you great chances for photos.

He sure looks wet. Do your neighbors have a birdbath? Good detail on this fellow.

He certainly looks dishevelled but some sunshine will tidy him up soon.....an excellent well detailed closeup....V
