Did you blur the background in post processing? There is a bit of a halo around the bird and the branches and one of the toes is blurred out as well. It feels like it is copied and pasted in (even if this is not the case).

another stunning bird photo ..
and congratulations on the great place in the challenge ..
once again i'm loving your dof ..
and the 20,000 .. i thought i took a heap .. but 20,000 is up there ..
also on my mirrorless camera it has an excellent option called pro/capture .. which means you focus on a spot pressing the shutter half way down .. and when a moment happens that you want to capture and click the shutter it records 30 frames BEFORE you hit the shutter button .. you can select how many frames you want to record as well .. its amazing ..
what isnt amazing is going thru the photos after .. so many .. and with the tiniest differences .. so you have to look at each one carefully because in one an eye might be in focus and in another one taken 15 frames after it might be out of focus .. the things we do . eh . !! .. ;)

It is easy to get lost in this. The snow provides such nice contrast. I had hoped for some snow when I was planning to get the drone out for the challenge, but Chicago has had almost none this year. Nicely done.
