•  Comment I'd support a version with a shallower depth of field. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:40, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

• I don't like to blur my backgrounds in post-processing, Frank. Charlesjsharp (talk) 06:49, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

• Me neither. I was referring to the f-stop. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 12:46, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

• I think F5.6 instead of F10 would change total DoF from about 7m to 4m, i.e. 1/2 that for the background. You wouldn't see the difference would you? For my 'ready to go' hand-held settings, I preset 1/1000 sec and ISO 800 (or 400 if very sunny) and the camera chooses F number to suit light available. In this case we were driving on a public road, the busy Transpantaneira Highway. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:38, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

• I'm sure you already know this, but in order to get a creamy and less distracting background, you either have to use a longer focal length, move closer to the subject, or increase the distance between the subject and the background. This recently promoted image of an Australian Brushturkey is more what I'd consider a featured picture of a bird. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:35, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

• But you did nominate this one!! Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:08, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
