As others have commented, a nice painterly feel to this.

I really like the splash of blue against the green and you nailed the composition. The blurred background grass with sharper grass in foreground seems a bit unbalanced to me.

Looks very hard to catch. What kind of bird is that anyway! Never seen anything like it

Nice catch! Colors of the bird contrast very well with the background.

Blur makes it look like an oriental painting, very zen.

Time and patience must be expended to get the pictures you get. Time well spent. Always a pleasure.

I like how the bokeh blends together in different layers of flora.

Ahhh, a purple gallinule! I love the contrast of the bird and the weeds. Great timing and composition on this.

Interesting bird. I really like the vegetation, movement gives a painterly effect.
