Do you ever take a photo and like the way the background turns out so much that the primary subject becomes of secondary importance?
I mentioned in an earlier post the difficulty I have in photographing birds. This was a shot from the same day I photographed the cardinal. I’m not really sure what kind of bird this is, but I like the fact that I got a relatively clear shot of the bird. More than that, though, I like the impressionist look of the background.
Can anyone identify this bird?

Young house sparrow?
Thanks, Sue, for identifying my newest subject. I looked at a lot of photos of female house sparrows on the internet and “my” bird looks a lot like them.
