Lately, I realised I like zoomed-out photos of birds a little bit more. Instagram has conditioned us to like to super close-up portrait of birds, and they're pretty. Who doesnt like seeing the intricacies of the feathers? But its very limiting for me and I kinda always end up taking similar shots. Im learning to not overcrop and enjoy the habitat as much as I enjoy the bird..

@crimsonbutterfly in that spirit here's a magpie on lookout

An Australian magpie sitting on top of a tree, looking out to the right. It looks like the top of the tree has broken off, and the magpie is on the broken trunk

@crimsonbutterfly mmm that became a habit of mine also; teaching oneself to let the image have space and breathe is a skill in itself, I think.
