It should have said “that’s the definition ..”, meaning that if the observer’s eyes are drawn in this case to that gap, then they are in fact being a little distracted. You would likely rather their attention be directed straight to the rest of the bird and its face in particular. It’s really minor in this case. I was just trying to make the point that any compositional element has the potential for being a distraction from the primary subject, and should be evaluated accordingly. I think why I like this background so well is that it not only is not a distraction (because it’s so well blurred), but its colors actually complement the colors in the bird. All good!

Alan, what does this mean?: “But that the definition of a distraction.”
