•  Support I wish the left side was a bit sharper but it's a fairly small and fast bird, these are hard to capture. Aside from the shallow DoF, everything else is great: composition, background, light, bird's posture. --Podzemnik (talk) 19:49, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

•  Question - What happened to the tail? Motion blur? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:10, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

 Info Tails of birds are notoriously difficult to capture at the same level of sharpness as the rest of the bird. In this particular shot, it's the aperture of f/5.6, but I've literally taken hundreds of images at f/7.1 and smaller without getting everything sharp and in focus. A tiny bit of wind or movement of the tail can result in blur. Given that small birds in particular are very hard to capture photographically, I'd always say "let's not be too hard on the photographer"… --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 00:39, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

•  Support - Yeah, I agree. I don't think I've seen this particular blurred look before, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:01, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
