    This bird is watching you very carefully, probably wondering what you are doing! It's a great capture.

    Sparrows are such dainty little things. I love the way the colors of its plumage are echoed in the colors of the rust and in the background. Nice shot.

    In the words of Simon and Garfunkel: Who will love a little sparrow?

    Have you been using the wingscapes too? :)

    How wonderful of him to pose for you!

    I sure hope you're not spending too much time in front of the computer on your vacation! ;)

    Nicely done. It's hard to capture a bird's beaky expression but you've done it here.

    And you needn't apologize for what you call "canned" images...they are worthy photographs and it matters not when or where you took them!

    And have a good week!

    This helps me overcome my mood :). Love everything in this photo. The rusty bollard, the bird and the water in the background.

    Also, Elba is a nice name for a pier.
