The bird seems just a tad out of focus but I think the background is fantastic.

sweet image Julianne! Hang in there now & don't get frustrated with that Canon! Birds can be difficult to keep still eh? Birds not always cooperative with staying still eh?

Comment by SaraR:
A pleasing composition and colour tones, and very apt for Christmas! As you know the slight motion blur has hurt it in the voting - in retrospect you could have afforded to increase the shutter speed at the expense of a shallower dof. Nonetheless, a picture I would have been glad to have taken.

I thought it was a pretty scene with the bird and the droplets on the needles, but the OOF took away some of the punch.

I don't normally pay much attention to birds walking down the beach. A scene like this might catch my eye though. Maybe.

This is so fun I've come back to look at it a few times because it makes me smile.

sher: so shots of people walking are not natural but shots of a gull walking is natural?

scalvert: no. nothing's natural (except physics).

frisca: gulls have no Will. they are natural. everything they do is driven by instinct.

ursula: how do you know that gulls aren't thinking. have you ever looked on in the eye?

frisca: it's theologically impossible.

scalvert: ag! no theology! physics says no. Physics is going to give me another ribbon.

GeneralE: walking requires physics.

scalvert: yes, but not one single smooth motion of physics.

ursula: I don't recall seeing "single" or "smooth" in the rules.

scalvert: it's implied by natural.

ursula: that's funny. I've never seen nature be singular or smooth.

scalvert: what are you? a Quantum physicist?

Comment by JustinM:
lol Photographically however the this image doesn't hold my interest that much. The beach is kind of cluttered and the lighting is dull.

Another lovely flower shot. I like how the orange pops against the dark background.
