…Edit your photos that is. Sometimes the photo shouts at you to edit! Seriously I usually don’t edit my photos. However I caught this sparrow perched on my hummingbird feeder perch and I thought he would look nice in black and white. He is a small bird and not very colorful. He is actually an enemy to the bluebirds in my yard. Nevertheless he deserves a place at the perch every now and then. So I thought I would dress him up a bit and put him in black and white. Do you have birds in your yard?
i love to have a pet bird
Good article
Thanks Gary!
I can relate to the feeling of “screaming for edit”. I experience that at times 🙂
I know you understand Icy!
She remains cute in black and white, and the picture becomes more classic. In my yard, those who used to attend were various sparrows, turtledoves, doves, and starlings.
Thanks Albert. Sorry for the delay in responding. I missed your comment. 🙂
No problem at all Carol
Indeed this came out great in black and white. Great work
A lot of sparrows frequently visit us everyday. I think they have some nests on the nearby trees. Since we are surrounded partly by open fields and rice fields, a lot of egrets fly by as well…
Thank you! I will take egrets over sparrows any day!
I love editing my photos Lol. this one is perfect in black and white!
It is fun on some photos. Thanks Michelle!
Lovely photo Carol, you are really a gifted photographer!
Thanks so much Gina. You are too kind.

Amazing photo! We have sparrows, tits and magpies, but sometimes you can see doves and Eurasian jays.
Good for you Ellie! Thanks
Cute little felow!

So beautiful happy thursday carol
Thanks and the same to you! 🙂
Looks great in black and white….great choice to edit! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. Since I don’t care for the sparrows I like him like this as well. 🙂
Yes, we have plenty of birds in our back yard.
Good for you Pamela!
I have the same initial reaction as indexer above! But I have learned that Americans mean garden when they say yard. On this side of the Atlantic, a yard is more likely to contain bits of broken machinery than plants (Aha – maybe that’s where the other meaning of ‘plant’ came from 😮 ) Yes, lots of birds in my garden. My wife runs a gardening channel on YouTube and people always remark on the sweet birdsong in the background on all her videos 🙂
I am talking about my entire yard Norman. My backyard mainly but they flock in my front yard as well. My garden is where my flowers are. I am talking “yard”. 🙂 This time of the year especially they come in flocks to my yard. And all I have in my yard are trees. Good for your wife that sounds like fun!
If by ‘yard’ you mean ‘garden’, then yes, we do. The most regular visitors to the bird feeder are house sparrows, starlings, woodpigeons and collared doves. Ground feeders include blackbirds and jackdaws. Less regular visitors include bullfinches, chaffinches, blue tits and robins.
No I mean my entire yard. Sound like you have a nice variety of birds. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
