i like the fact that the background is green. when i was trying to catch the shot for my entry i was really trying hard to get the background to be interesting rathern then blank blue sky.
Great great pic. Terrific stop-motion and the bird is perfectly extended. I like the contrast between the blur on the wings and sharply focused head. Pretty background & beautiful bird.
Beautiful lighting, perfect speed & depth. I especially appreciate the contrast of colors and the similarity between the angle of the bird's body and the left edgeline of the trees.
