    Bird in the Branches



    I think that with all the branches that it looks a little cluttered (but you cant really do anything about those), and I was wanting to get more opinions

    Thanks.

    Re: Bird in the Branches

    part of my says it would be better if you were in closer then the other park tells me its tells a story on how birds use trees as a natural barrier for protection. but then again maybe the rule of thirds should be used and that you have the subject in the middle, I would have put the bird to the left . its nice a clear shot. i like it. good job

    Thanks, I tried to make the photo where the bird wasn't exactly in the middle, but that was the only place that I could get a clear shot of him, and not have branches covering him..

    Crop it to vertical losing most of the left and right, leaving the bird off center to left.
    Keep Shooting!
