Befriend the Raindrops

I chose this photo because I appreciated a lot of qualities about it.

I liked how the photographer has captured a good angle of the bird in its kind of dramatic position – perfect for the mood of the image. I liked the view of real raindrops captured in a shot – it must have required a very fast shutter speed.

It’s a good depth-of-field shot, only it’s a shallow one but it justifies the image because obviously, the subject is the bird so the focus has to be on the bird. And I’ve always liked depth-of-field shots, for some reasons I can’t quite figure out yet. Maybe because they make the picture a little less boring and ordinary and they add drama to the scene.

And the cherry-like fruits looked good on the contrast of the background, plus the bird’s color blended with that of the background too, which emphasized only two colors in the picture which also look good when combined, as I see on the picture.

I find the picture dramatic, with the “alone” bird and the raindrops and the red fruits around.

I see serenity in the picture.

I do admire it.
