The blue spots are very distracting from this beautiful bird

Very good title. Fits this shot and this challenge. I like this but a bit soft. Good capture just the same.

OK - I guess trying something a little different did not work here. I know the "rule" of space in front of the subject. Figured this one deserved to break the rule since this bird was leterally "leaving the carcass" and it was a cahllenge concerning minimalism. Oh well, maybew next time. Thanks for the comments and a relativly good score considering the plainness of my shot.

Shots of birds flying out of the frame always look unbalanced to me. This would be perfect if he was flying into the frame...

Not to mention leaving the canvas.

I'm more of a 'put the open space in front of the motion' person. The bird just looks cramped in the corner. 5

Comment by Kaizen:
Nice, crisp focus. However, I would prefer the composition of the subject to have the empty space in front of it rather than behind the bird. You have given it \"minimal\" space to fly within the frame. Maybe that was the point.
