About I had to show this despite not being a totally sharp image. I was "playing" around with my camera when Yucca (my lovebird) flew on the glass and started smelling the wine. Of course I didn't let her drink it ;)
Hope you like it.

She is a very curious bird Ali, right now she is seating on my shoulder trying to figure out looking at the computer with me :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to go thru my images.
Best,
Julie.

Yes really everything starts with curiosity . Very good composition with warm and natural colors. Very different type of close up for me. Best regards. Thanks

Oh, that would be very easy, Julie! Believe me, she would return to the glass if you only did as if you're not watching her! ;-)

For some reason even ants return to my whisky jar!!! ;-)

Cheers!

Thank you so much dear Marian. I am glad you like it. Yucca is pretty smart, it wouldn't surprise when she is alone she helps herself to a glass...haha!
Big hug,

Thank you for the critique Nick. I realized the light was tough but I didn't want to miss the chance of capturing her so no chance to change settings or open the window :(. She is pretty fast, the second after I released the shutter she was gone.
Thank you again for stopping by.
Best,
Julie.

A bad thing it was to not allow her to drink, Julie! In vino veritas for Yuccas too! ;-)

The sharpness, especially on the main subject, isn't as low by itself, but rather in combination with the low light and the associated lack of contrast. And as the composition contains also many things out of focus the visual separation of the bird from its surroundings is too low. Perhaps an even wider aperture could help, though I'd rather doubt it since it must have been already wide (already very shallow DoF). So, why not opening the window and allowing some more light to come in? I think that she would return to the glass be it high or low light condition. ;-)

As about composition, it's hard to say. A good thing to show also the bottle of wine, as it does add some humorous moment. But under these conditions it doesn't really work.

No good, Julie.

Cheers!

Nick
