Thanks.
Yes, it’s a really good image.
I often shoot birds 3/4 on if they are doing something interesting or even head on if they are looking straight down the barrel (eye contact) and as long as the eye and head are sharp, I don’t mind if the rest of the body runs out of focus. Of course, having the whole bird sharp is ideal but that’s just not possible much of the time. For me, a shot with high visual impact trumps all-over sharpness.
Would you agree or do you have a different take?
