kooka portrait

[avkomp]

from lane cove national park a while back. these guys used to scabbing from visitors so keen to hang around and see what it could steal.
so I stole its portrait. angled so nothing behind for a good way, let the 600 bokeh do what it does

Lovely. The creamy background really makes the bird stand out.

Marvelous portrait Stephen. What is the background?

thanks folks, from memory it may have been trees on the other side of the river. but 20 or metres behind so the lens deals with it. havent had to manipulate the background at all, if you can get some separation from the background, you just let the lens do its think
