Perched on the end of a railing at the marsh, this sparrow seems lost in thought as it surveys the surrounding area.
Most of the time I try to get as close to my subject as possible, either with a telephoto or macro lens, but in this case I liked this image the moment that I pulled it up on my computer screen. I struggled to find words to explain why I like this particular shot, but the lines, the colors, and lighting somehow combined in a way that I find interesting and pleasing.

I’m baffled by how that railing was constructed, but I like the colors.
