This trio of House Sparrows was sitting on a low wall outside the National Archives.
I cropped a distracting piece of white pipe from the bottom of the picture (and some of the greenry at the top to make it more balanced and less top heavy) and increased the saturation a bit.
Focal length: 23.2mm; f/5.5; 35mm equivalent: 147mm; ISO 250.
Here's the original for comparison.

That was a good cropping! What cute birds!
I like the edits you made to this, it draws your attention back that cute little trio! :)
Nice image for the Theme, not often do you get three of them to sit for you!
Lovely little chaps but if you look closely, you will see that they are National Archive Sparrows - Not common Ole House S[arrpws/
Removing pipe = good idea. It puts the focus back where it belongs. Those little cuties look all lined up waiting for someone to drop a few crumbs from a sandwich!
I really like the panoramic view you achieved with the cropping and that strong diagonal really adds something special. That, with the balance of the three birds, takes it from ordinary to special!
Love your little guys, nice job cropping for balance.
I agree - cropping out the pipe was a must. This is a very pleasing picture! Well done!
As everyone has said already, cropping out the pipe was definitely a good idea. Great shot!
