Trying to get the "Rule of Third" and "Leading Line" concepts right in this photo.

As with the shot.. when i saw her, my 18-55 lens was on and did not have time to switch the lens just in time.. hence had to do super crop and hence the grain.. but i am overall quite pleased with the photo.

For people in india, 10 years back this was nothing special.. its a usual indian sparrow.. sitting on the bush... but these days its a hard effort to spot these (especially in Pune).. i remember my childhood with these fellows... hope my children will enjoy the same as well.
