Another one of the rare visitors of my bird feeder

Do you think it passes as an acceptable image ? What could be done

better ? I know the composition is not great !

I think it passes as more than acceptable! I find the simple lines and shapes and the muted tones beautiful, the blurred background without any distracting areas make the bird and branch stand out nicely, and I do not see anything wrong with the composition: the diagonal formed by the branch works very well and the bird is nicely positioned for me. Could it be improved? Maybe, perhaps I would have favoured a more panoramic format, but I suppose that if you cropped it as you did is because there was some intrusive element to get rid of. All in all quite a nice picture.

Looks like a waxwing. You can see them often in sweden wintertime. Nice

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow, really really nice!

Its certainly a waxwing. There are two varieties - Cedar Waxwing and Bohemian Waxwing. There are subtle differences between them. Bohemian is supposedly bigger than Cedar.

I think you are being overly modest. This is good composition IMHO. Maybe I would have preffered a little more spcace at bottom right, but that's a minor issue. Lighting was surely beyond your control. I love the OOF part.

 

I see that your collection is growing :-)

..I was not sure. To me, the branch going across was "rude" and had a negative impact on the picture. I would have loved to have him(or her) on a gentle slope of the branch but he(or she) just refused to sit there !! And, as you understand, I did not want to make my glamourous model upset ! I could have used PS to clone it out but I am against this kind of manipulation !

 

Keep visiting, this makes my passion to grow.

Love the tones and DOF!
