Again I see exquisite detail and a well chosen perspective. I was wondering at first about the presence of the  nearer out of focus tree, but on reflection I think it adds a bit more depth to the shot.

Beautifully done!

Dear Juha,

This is spectacular! Nicely done!

Alf, Timothy.. Thanks for the kind remarks.

I also wondered wether to include the OOF - tree in the composition.

Hi Juha,

I like the foreground tree. I think it add something fresh to the photo, and you have it framed the whole image very nicely. The bird is extraordinary! What a fine creature!!

Tim

Great detail, excellent bird specimen, and gorgeous background. This is terrific!, Juha!

The FG tree does not bother me unto itself, although if you were more to the right it might have brought in both of the bird's legs and more of its tail. But I'm betting that would have compromised the beautiful BG or spooked the bird.

Patrik.. Thank You!
