Judges Comments

An image with an animal exhibiting natural behaviours which lifts it from being a mere portrait. The bird is carrying grassy material in its beak, possibly for
the purposes of nest building. The bird is well lit, bringing our nice colouration and a catch light in it's eye. The hard light iscasting shadows on the ground
that become interesting compositional elements, especially the grassy shadow. I thought the focus on the bird was a bit soft and it appears to be sharper on
the moss behind the bird. I would also consider removing the patch of grass below the tail for an open competition because is distracting and draws you out of the image.
