Bird Sanctuary Idol

This is cute. :) I like the combination of focal length and aperture to isolate the bird against a washed out background. You did a nice job of hitting just the right focal plane to keep the head and torso sharply focused. If I was to do/suggest anything on this I might boost the saturation on the wing colors (reds, yellows) to make that pop just a little.

Another delight. Love the super dof here.

You may want to reconsider the size/opacity of the copyright. I literally have to force my eyes away from it in order to drink in the beauty.

Awesome, awesome photography.

Heck yeah, the bokeh works for me! A colourful feast for the eyes.

I actually LIKE the way you've composed this and the DOF is right on the mark for this. There is enough in the bg for recognition of the subject, but not so much it detracts from the primary (foreground horse head). I find it inspiring enough to try one of these myself. :D

Comment by dewdodesign:
great timing to grab this shot but there is too much empty space on the right hand side and would perhaps benefit from being cropped slightly?
It is a shame the little fella is flying away from you and not towards you as it would have been great to see the face and not the bum lol

Too bad the bird wasn't facing you. Maybe the title should have been bird butt ;)

I like it! The spokes with highlights at the hub draw my attention right to that area. I think this would be even better with a bit of steam in the image.
