This is an amazing, well-executed capture of a beautiful bird - great composition, nice head turn, pretty subject, and pleasingly melted background and foreground courtesy of the low shooting angle and the narrow DOF of a wide open 800 mm. It's a bit hot in some areas, but this is easy to recover during RAW conversion and such doesn't detract a bit from the superb camera work. Congrats Paolo on your first FBOTW!  |
