Egret: Here, I photographed a Great Egret at f5.6. The bird is tack sharp while
the foliage in the distance is very soft. The theme of the photo is clearly about
the bird and its catch, and there is little else in the photo to detract from the
powerful moment. For this reason, wildlife photographers typically use wide
apertures for the majority of their work. To further emphasize the effect,
try positioning yourself so there is distance between the subject and the
background.
