Judge ’ s comments : This image takes the ribbon in this category because , for me , it ’ s a great combination of a few elements — an awesome subject , but also a great contrast of colour , tone , light and shade . Good use of depth of field , by throwing the background out of focus with a long focal length lens , making the main subject stand out from its
surroundings . With the point of interest being the feeding bird placed on one of the thirds of the image , and the focus tack-sharp on his eye , it ’ s hard to not keep going back to that central point . I love the colours and the strong contrast against the plain foliage in the background . Good work and well Reece Fraser 2nd captured .
