Shallow depth of field

Completely different to the top 2 images, but no less effective. Once again, depth of field has been used brilliantly to produce a very striking image.

Beautiful colours and a gorgeous sense of depth combine brilliantly to create a truly evocative image that absolutely any wildlife or nature photographer would be truly delighted with. Stunning stuff.

This really does tie-in with the theme of the competition very well. A truly lovely photo of a beautiful bird, using depth of field very appealingly creative effect.
