CommentIt is pleasing to obtain a close up of a small active bird. This one came close to my lens fluttering down from a tree branch with fantail spread. I would have preferred to give the subject more space in front, however there was none to be had due to it being on the right half of the RAW image. Leaf debris and greenery in the foreground provides a sense of scale, however is perhaps also a distraction.
