My First Good Picture I Think?

[Jill Davis]

Out of hundreds of pictures that I have taken and haven just started learning all about photography within the last couple of months and the encouragement from my husband Harold, decided to post my first picture. Have at it. Thanks for looking and I appreciate the comments.

Nikon D50, 70-300 at 210mm, f/5, 1/640s, ISO 560, 0EV, handheld

Hi Jill and Welcome!

Love the BG colors, the bird looks really really good!!! Nice job!

The only thing that sort of distracts me a bit is the one stick running at an angle on the right, minor.

Well gee Harold how come the branches weren't fixed on this very lovely image..Just askin:p

Hi Jill,
beautiful image, very nice colours!
First I thought that the branches were distracting, but then I saw that there is a small piece of the branch in the upper right corner too. Now, for me, it looks as if the bird is trying to push the branch out of the frame with the peak of the beak. (Of course not in reality - but in my mind). So now, I like the branches too. :-)

:Din response to Ms Nonda: "MUST TEACH WIFE TO PROCESS HER OWN PICTURES, MUST TEACH WIFE TO PROCESS HER OWN PICTURES":D:D or it could be just "wife must learn to process here own pictures" which i think is better!!:D
