I'd like to have gotten a less busy background.  I used an exposure of 1/90
sec @ f/8 (f/11 effective) to get a trace of DOF on the bird but this had the unfortunate effect of making the background busier. All comments welcome.


Good Mornin' Doug!

Another nice one!

True, the background is a bit busier than you or I might like, but it is blurred enough that the Anna still jumps out of the print ... and that's enough for most folks!

Nice composition and detail, too.  Full frame, or cropped?

Cheers!
