Beautiful shot, nice focus on the subject and I love the blurred bird in the background.

Nice shot and nice composition with the bird perched on a twig placed diagonally across the frame.

Hi Farid,
Nice detail, great colour and excellent composition, I like the bird in the background.

Hi Farid

There are many things I like about this shot. The POV, composition and the colours in particular have great visual impact. The diagonal of the branch gives the shot nice lines and I just love the effect of the flying OOF bird in the BG. This is a stunning piece of work! :-)
