   A very pleasing shot. the orange and yellow of the bird stand out against the cooler greens.
   There is something special about the bokeh of long fast glass.

   Very nice / lovely light and colours. I agree with Anurag the bokeh is good.

   I love birds as well-have a wonderful cockatiel named Kahuna, but also a yard filled with cardinals, jays, the occasional hawk, ibises.
   Thanks for this shot.
   cheers.
