Not sure it's the same bird as there was a gap between the first Savannah I posted and this one.

5Diii, 300mm f4 ISL + 1.4TC, hand held, f/7.1, 1/1250, iso 1600, aperture priority, pattern metering, no compensation.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  Cropped to 7.7MP.  Taken June 3rd at 3:00 pm in my backyard.

Thanks for your comments, I learn from them all.

I always enjoy bathing shots, nice low angle with the eye being barely visible. If it were mine I would crop some from the right and top.  devil

Very cool bathing action Dennis, the eye showing makes the image IMO. devil

You certainly captured the energy a sparrow brings to a bath.But, I think, this is the spin or rinse cycle...
