 Kookaburra was sitting on the clothes line. I was able to get as close as I liked and also swing the clothes line around to get a better background without the Kookaburra moving away.

Nice kookaburra. I miss their laughter living here in Japan. And the screeching of cockatoos... I miss that, too.

a little more space in the direction your subject is looking makes a stronger image.
