First Flight

By magnus
It was the first solo flight for this Sparrow.
He has a look which says " do I really have to let go of this tree?"

Nice dof and detail. I like the empty space you have left, which the bird is looking into. Good breathing space. Regards John

Gosh, this is a young 'un. Very well captured, nice and sharp - lovely pose and expression on his / her face (looks female but can't always tell at that age!).
