    Balancing act

    This morning before work I encountered this Savannah Sparrow having its breakfast. It was quite amusing to observe the little bird teetering on the grass stems.

    Technical details: Canon Rebel XTi w/Sigma 500mm f/4.5 EX HSM and Kenko PRO 300 DG 1.4x TC balanced on my car door. ISO 400, f/8, 1/500 sec

    Excellent work!

    Love the "balancing act". Great implied action/tension. Your composition is wonderful.

    Great picture, love the strong colours, your sparrows are much more colourful than ours, although they are very similar to our Buntings.
