Great bokeh and nice composition! I like his "abstract friend" but it may look distracting for some people, maybe i'm wrong, but it's the only "problem" in this shot in my opinion! Nice job! Good luck!

really like the bokeh in the background...your birds tail is a little grainy but I still like the composition...very good
Post actions
nice crisp image and bokeh makes it stand out further

Looks almost like a monkey back there in the bokeh. Looking right at the catbird. Very cool. And the catbird is nicely detailed.

The friend looks very much like a monkey - a very intriguing photograph!

Not a bird we get in the UK - a super study, sharp, with very pleasing and complimentary bokeh, and best of all, the bird caught in an interesting and alert pose. Excellent.

Very nice detail in the bird and fence...that really does look like a face in the bokeh next to the bird.

Great background bokeh and colors. Good eye contact with the bird. Don't care much for the chip in the fence especially since it was Advanced editing.

I love the background, works well with the shot. This would make for a nice wall mount.

Lovely bokeh and wonderful composition. I also love the sharpness of the eye.

I realy like the green background, the dof is perfect
Post actions
great background, with very sharp and well composed bird in the foreground. very nice shot

Love, love, love the bokeh in this, with your tack sharp subject. Awesome. I wonder if under Advanced Editting you could clone out the chipped paint? My eye keeps getting drawn to it, which is unforuntate.

Nice detail and great DOF.

That bokeh is just delicious.

Beautiful background bokeh. The bright form in the background to the left even looks like a bird facing skyward and singing to high heaven. Love the fence and the placement of the bird in the scene. Very nice.
Post actions
Nice detail in the foreground, and nice bokeh in the background.
Post actions
I love the abstract appearance of the background. The subject and foreground are perfectly sharp. Well shot.
Post actions
did you digitally sharpen this? the sharpness looks a bit forced in my opinion
