Pei-Fan, beautiful bird and very bright colors contrasting the green with the orange of the fruits. The image is sharp and has a very good composition with the branches of the fruit bush. I think there is too much empty space, so I cropped it.   Posted: 10/09/2024 14:19:45

Thanks Isaac, thanks for your suggestion, I agree with you there was too much empty space.   Posted: 10/13/2024 11:50:27

I agree with Isaac, too much space takes away from the main subject. I like the crop Isaac did. Your image is sharp and beautiful. I like that it is in a natural setting and shows the bird finding his own food source.   Posted: 10/10/2024 13:05:57

I really like the colors in this image. Isaac's crop does improve the image and focuses the eye on the bird itself. Great capture of the orange fruit inside the beek.   Posted: 10/12/2024 21:01:34

A beautiful image of this beautiful bird in action. With the contrasting colors of the bird and the berry's and the blurred background takes my eyes immediately to the subject. A great composition and I like Isaac's crop.   Posted: 10/16/2024 16:11:00

Pei-Fan,
A very insightful shot at a critical moment. The eye tracking was spot on and tack sharp. I appreciate the eye-level attitude as well. The bokeh helps the subject to pop.   Posted: 10/18/2024 19:22:08

Pei-Fan, a beautiful shot of the bird and berries. My only suggestion (personal taste) would be to, while shooting, try to find an angle from which the background is far more separated. That's not always possible. Often, background can be separated by strong blur, contrasting luminance, or contrasting colors. But often not possible.   Posted: 10/27/2024 02:17:57
