Lovely image! Great low angle, eye contact and detail. The oof bird doesn't bother me at all.

Alvan,

BG OOF bird is nicely juxtaposition with the one in the FG. As mentioned, low angle is the way to go.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Great low angle, and I like the OOF FG creeping up to the legs. I like the juxtaposition, but I find it would have been even stronger had you moved left a bit to completely clear the far bird's face from the front one.

[Connie Mier]

Sweet shot, I like the mood of it. The oof bird works well.

[Bill Dix]

Beautiful image -- ditto the other comments. I'm not often a fan of oof birds in the image, but the perfectly matching poses here make this for me. Lovely light, detail, color and low angle.

Hi
Nice low angle shot with harmonic oof bird.

[Nico Steenberg]

The OOF bird adds to something different. Low angle always makes a big difference. Like the DOF and soft light.
