As a picture of a bird I don't think this is necessarily in the class of some
other people's bird pics. But then, it's not intended exactly as a bird pic.

Today being a holiday in Hong Kong, we wandered around Kowloon City for a
few hours, starting in this park. There were several bird fanciers with
their birds there, ignoring the trendy fear of all things avian in Hong Kong.

I didn't touch any birds, but some photons did travel from the bird to my eye.
Should I worry?!

Update (24 hours after posting):
This is my least popular picture so far, based on clicks within the first day!
That doesn't surprise me very much because there's probably nothing in the
thumbnail which would get people's attention.

I think there are diffraction optics effects around the bars behind the bird,
but that won't stop me from liking the picture! And to compensate me for the
diffraction effects this lens has that brilliant IS system.
300mm (x 1.6 ~ 480mm), 1/30s, handheld!
