 California Quail came out into the light from his hiding place in this thicket just long for me to get the shot. Used shallow DOF to separate from all the distractions of his habitat.

Interesting looking bird (grouse?). I think a slightly shallower DOF would help isolate the bird from the cluttered habitat even more.

Too much in focus to meet the challenge from my perspective.
