Comment by Bruce_the_Robert:
That bird is looking right at you, wondering whether you want him to move out of the way so that you can take a picture of the grass. Then he thought he would stay; it's his home, after all. You can take the picture around him. Wonderful.

Having read the comments (something I only do after I comment), I agree; it's not a centered composition, and I keep following the flow of the grass. Thanks for not cropping that out.

Weeds and wildflowers and just plane old flowers are drilled into my scull after the Floral challenge last month, sad to see them go.

Comment by quiet_observation:
To me the composition is as much about the grass as it is the bird. If anything, I see it as a two-thirds/one-third arrangement. I would have been reluctant to crop and I'm a crop queen.

Comment by posthumous:
this is gorgeous. and it is not a centered composition. there is a big difference between a centered subject and a centered composition.

Ah, you got good stuff that day! I think it's a lovely shot, nicely sharp, with interesting textures and halo light around his head. I think the composition hurt the score, though. Dead center leaves my eye to wander around. I wonder how it'd look cropped in on the right?
