This was a lucky shot. I did go out with my little uncle out to play on the playfield out side my home. Sudenly this bird came on this fence and was "hunting" straws. Point, focus. shot, the bird flew away
I love the colors in this photo and the way they are banded horizontally and then the contrast of the crisp vertical bars of the fence in the foreground. It's a wonderful demonstraton of perspective.
This is a nearly perfect wildlife shot. I would suggest cropping it at the point where the road meets the strip of grass. I think it meets the challenge. I like that the bird has plenty of detail; you can tell what it has in it's bill and you can see the ruffling of the feathers quite distinctly. Good job!
