Capturing the bird together with the bush works well,enough detail in this,would crop a tad more though,maybe the top/left side but not a lot,nice one...Brian

Perfect timing to get him in this position! Well focused, the image is clear to view, nice detail throughout, good eye contact! Well exposed allowing his natural colors and tones to show true! Well composed to show him coming out from behind the Bush with plenty of space to move into! Best to you in the contest!

a very good entry to my contest as required; another demonstration that with a good camera you can get to a very high iso without excessive noise;
I would just prefered a better framing, with more space in front;

Well I tried uploading the square but it didn?t work. So I tried again. Could you please let me know if the square works better for you.

reply by supergold on 27-Mar-2018

the less space you have on the left, the better it is...

Clearly you have pretty good reactions going off this shot! Your image benefits from being well composed, it's sharp and has good exposure. Well done and good luck!

How lovely! Amazing how you have captured this beautiful bird getting ready to go into the sky for something that looks important. You blurred the background just enough so that the focus is where it needs to be. Great work!

A fine shot with very good colors and excellent eye detail. I like this cropping and am a little surprised to see so little noise in the image. Best of luck in the contest.

Thank you Mike. I was quite surprised myself but it turned fabulous.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Impressive capture!
An interesting initial impact.
Excellent choice of a dark subject with bright & obscure backdrop adding contrast.
Well timed still motion shot!
Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Impressive entry. Potential voters choice...
Thanks for sharing...
