This is a 1640 x 2412 pixel crop of a 7952 x 5304 pixel full-frame shot. It is usable at that tiny size thanks to the new Enhance Details feature in Lightroom and Photoshop. Owing to the snooty upper-class pose, I'm calling him Wing Commander Sir Cholmondeley Housesparrow DFC KBE.

Having gone from Pentax APS-C size to Sony full-frame  format, this is one of my first efforts with the new Alpha A7Riii camera and a new Sigma 100-400mm full-frame zoom lens. The scene is the sidewalk under the bird feeder in the waterfall garden at Three Crowns Park.
