This is quite a lovely image even though the bird is flying away. I love how the tree is framing the bird and seeing those stunning feathers and trailing tootsies.

Hi Stu
Marina took the words out of my mouth regards the greenery and framing. The looking away aspect doesnt bother me . I think there is too much negative emphasis on such shots. It is how we often see them anyway.
I like it.
