little bird

Posted by ManuelaR (Hainburg (Frankfurt/Main), Germany) on 4 December 2006 in Animal & Insect.

This little fellow was following us on our walk through the woods. Tried to capture him several times but he was always on the run. This is the only time I caught him... not very clear - I know - but I still liked the colours and the "fluffy" effect ;)

lovely bird...if he's always hopping about then focus was always going to be a gamble...mission accomplished i reckon though...the fact its out of focus conjures up images of you firing off shots in a hurry and I like that...it's nice when we get a window into what was happening a shot was taken.

Nice shot -- the depth of focus is just right, too -- not to much "business" in the background, the blurring helps a little with that. And good, bright colors!!

It is a very cute bird...and the blurry effect is no real cause for concern. The surroundings give a depth of field that makes it look extremely 3D. Great bird pic!!
