...all of these looked a bit more interesting when I posted them this morning, after a night without sleep.
Now that it's the full light of day, as it were...
Ah, well.
We'll just keep it between the two of us. 
And the tiny bird in the context of the big telephone pole is what I liked about it. He/She has their own perspective on life, right there. Plus, just something about the size disparity, and the form of the pole, wires, etc.. I even like the color version, although as I said to Solly Mack, they all appeared more interesting early this morning after a night with no sleep, than they did later in the day. 
My wife had business in town yesterday evening, so I wandered around while waiting for her. I haven't gotten comfortable with photographing people on the street, so I just sort of potted away at things. Imagination was lacking, as is obvious from the result.
I'm not using the Auto or P settings now, trying to shoot everything on Manual settings and using a 35mm prime lens exclusively, and using the manual focus more often. I don't get as many decent shots as I'd like, but I'm also getting some that I really do like. And I'm starting to shoot more in B&W, and hoping alfredo will share some constructive criticism; or anyone, for that matter, because I have much to learn.
Let me also take a moment to say, in light of recent events, that I really value your contributions to the Photo Group.
