Male House Sparrow...playing with light

In these two images that I captured while out at my second job gardening. I captured this Male house sparrow singing on a wire just over the property. It's the same bird but with a different perspective while playing with light. I carefully watched him and the light to see if I could capture a more dynamic view of him....it's interesting when you compare both pictures just how important light can be for your subject matter. I personally prefer this shot over the frontal you get more color details and a softness of the profile rather than the harsh frontal. What do you think?

  2. ...I like this photo. He looks very sweet here with his head slightly fluffed. These birds are always happy...
