September NF 16

Looks like a hawk got one of the little birds at my feeder recently. I discovered a few feathers on the ground and this one stuck to a tree walking about the yard the other day.

A lovely half and half that has me studying it. I really appreciated your comment on my b&w tree post. Thanks!

[Dixie Goode]

Fascinating focus here, the blurry background is so pervasive that that tiny strand in focus really stands out.

[Lou Ann]

Awww this is a wonderful photo,

[Milanie]

So nicely composed - like the lighting and dof

[Marnie]

Interesting story in this shot. Great lighting.

[Maggiemae]

Maybe the bird was moulting - would like to think it was pulled out!

[Kathy]

A lovely image, despite the grizzly story. I guess that's Mother Nature.

[Sarah Bremner]

Beautiful image......didn't think about it being result of an attack 😥

[Susan Golding]

There is something beautiful in the simplicity of this shot. Love it.

Makes a pretty photograph but rather a sad tale suggesting the reason for the lost feather.

Thank you Wendy!

[bruni]

I hope Maggiemae is correct in her thinking. great bokeh and dof.fav,

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bruni No, sad to say but the pile of feathers on the ground told a less hopeful story than this one stuck on the tree. Thanks for stopping by Bruni!

[Rob Z]

Beautiful lighting, detail and DOF - but a sad story.
