  • Bob Wickham

    Bob Wickham

    that’s brilliant Ellen.
    I wouldn’t be too worried about the foreground – nothing a bit of editing wouldn’t fix.
    The focus on his wings is perfect and the dof is perfect too.
    When they decide they want to fly it happens in an instant, so you did very well to capture this.

  • Ellen replied

    Thank you very much for your comment Bob! You cannot plan this, so i leave the foreground as it is….

    Personally I think this is a very nice shot but if you are worried by the foreground some light cropping should do the trick. However based on all the comments I don’t think it is necessary. :)

    Its a beautiful photo, even with the “aged” petal or leaf in the foreground… that’s Mother Nature reminding us that beauty is in everything, not just the pretty colourful living creatures. I actually think that if it wasn’t there, it would look too perfect!!!
