Wayside

I'm such a bird fanatic, AND I really enjoy bright colors, so I got super excited to see this in the Daily Deviation stack today!

Anyway, I've seen a lot of bird pictures, but never any of this specific species! That's probably what really sets it apart to me the most. That, and the outright contrast between the dull background colors and that beautiful plumage!

While the pose you caught it in or the general composition isn't totally original or outside of the box, it's definitely executed well. I've always been impressed how photographers can snap such a clear picture of these things. It must take lots of patience! (and / or luck?)

I think the lighting really adds to this piece! It gives the bird a sort of "looking forward" type feel to it. The whole picture seems to tell you that you have a bright future to look forward too... it really encouraged me, anyway!

Whether it's a bright "looking forward" type piece, or just another super-professional adorable bird picture for us bird fanatics, I think it's a wonderful addition to anybody's favorites.

Well done!
