Nature I really like this, but can't say why

I was down at my neice's house today and this little guy shows up. I grab the camera and adjust things, then shoot. I like this, but can't really say why.

It is well composed and has a very nice softness to while maintaining a good amount of detail. The eyes are sharp and you can see the catch light. I know why I like it

it looks like it is shot on a infinite white set... neat...

Dave, thanks for the comments. And glad you like it too.

Jord, this was a kind of cloudy day so that may be why it looks like it was shot on that infinite white set. Glad you liked it.

To me, it looks like aChinese water color painting, great one.

I dig the ethereal look of this shot a great deal. I like crisp, contrast bird shots, but this image is a delightful counterpoint to the usual.

Nick, thanks for the comments. I looked again and now kind of agree with you. It does have that chinese painting look to it.

And Jer. Always welcome your comments. Glad you liked it. Thanks.

I was about to say the same thing, Nick. Photolady, the photo has that graceful elegance I always associate with Chinese or Japanese art. I feel like painting it!

Thanks Tamia. I was trying to see what it was I seeing, and it took Nick to point it out. This is why I really like it. I think I'm going to enlarge and print it myself for hanging.

Although it's soft, I like it too, very much! It must be the paint-like look that attracts me.
Thanks for showing!

it looks like a picture from an old faded book i like it a lot

its great when a shot seems to break the rules but works and you keep looking at it

Thanks for the comments Rense. Glad you like it, too.

Gator, thanks.

Although I usually prefer this soft look with flowers as opposed to bird phtos...I find this photo refreshingly different and more like a paintingl!

KevinR · 03-17-2010, 10:13 AM

You got lucky...but I must say, it does have a pastal/water-color appeal. Almost like fogging the lens with a short breath.. I like it.

But I guess the SR on the later models would fix this 1/2" of camera shake...and make it a plain bird on a bird bath.
