Bird in a tree with berries and leaves ... I'd previously taken similar shots last week, so I knew if the birds came back it would be fairly easy to get the camera to focus on the leaves and berries and miss the bird.
Presumably, it would "look better" if the bird was sharp, surrounded by a dreamy cloud of OOF branches.

Way too much going on to pay attention to the bird. It doesn't seem to matter that it is out of focus. It is also very centered with colors that seem lazy. 5 for attempt.
