I'm not a huge fan of bird shots, so for one to grab my attention like this means it is very well done and different.

Sorry!! I had to vote a 1 here though. My reason was that your photograph didn't show any distinct foreground or background framing of your main subject. Essentially your subject is in the same plane as your frame.


Per this comment, and this comment, plus a private message, I have decided to give you a new score, It is now a 5 for the other qualities of this image (despite what I feel is still a DNMC image). Now go thank Bear_Music for he does make good sense sometimes, or at least inspires me to be a bit more open minded (or at least punish people slightly less for what I see as either shoehorning or a failure to take a reasonably literal interpretation of the rules..)

The colors of the bird really jump out.

Such a cool looking bird, a perfect photo, almost too perfect to be real! The leaves twisting around the branch are a perfect touch. Nature is wonderful.

1st thought was "great photo", then I thought "that cant be a real bird, how can it fly, it must be photo shopped"
But I know its a real bird in good focus and nice bg and well framed on two side.

Who says there is no such thing as camouflage? I like that you were able to zoom in on him and great great focus. Nicely done.

Location your backyard?! I think I hate you. But I'm still thrilled you shared this moment, even if you think you could have done better on the processing. Just an amazing capture.
