This captivating close-up photograph features a lively insect perched on a blurred background. The insect, with its vibrant colors and animated posture, appears poised to leap into action. The foreground is beautifully captured in sharp detail, allowing for a clear view of the insect's intricate features and delicate movements. The monochromatic black and white backdrop creates a striking contrast, enhancing the insect's visual impact and making it the focal point of the composition.

I do love to watch juveniles in the rain. I slowed the shutter to catch rain drops if I could. This juvy White-crowned sparrow stayed still for some time, only rotating its head occasionally.

 

Thanks for looking.
