Bird on the Fence in the Snow

Went for a walk to see what I'd find and happened on a large group of little birds -- sparrows I think -- in a parking lot, hopping in and out and on the chain link fence. It's now snowing, so I decided to add in a bit, though it wasn't when I took the photo.

Love you POV and of course the snow adds atmosphere.

Would love to see it without snow too. That opening in the fence is nice for the comp.

[Joanna kate]

My first thought was of imprisonment of this little bird with the fence. Fluffed up against the world....

[Poppo Livy]

He looks rather forlorn looking.
Rohan is now at Whitefish, near Glacier Nat Park in Montana Taffy and he reckons it is 20deg warmer there that it was in Naperville

[Issi Bannerman]

Beautifully atmospheric image! He does look as if he's gazing forlornly at what's on the other side of his fence.

[Yao RL]

Brave bird in such an cold weather. Love the feel of this shot.

[Joan Robillard]

Don't they seem like kids when they do that?

[sally agnew]

All fluffed out in his winter feathered coat :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Cool processing. I was feeling sorry for the sparrow seeing him out there in the snow.
