CommentWhen you can't travel far a bird in the burbs is worth more than a bird in the bush.
There are cues to the urban habitat in the composition - including unsightly proportions, planes, discordant and odd angles: a world fit for the bird denigrated as a feather rat?

Truth be told, I like them.

The f/11 was to gain some depth at the short range I was forced to use with the 500mm prime.
