For this White-crowned Sparrow photo, I used the vegetation in front of this upright log to give foreground blur. Background blur comes from camera settings as well as how close the subject is to the background.. I pick a spot for what I believe is going to make a good photo, and the wait begins.. always waiting for my subjects to come into frame..

Your wait paid off. Nicely done.
Thank you Sir. I’ve learned from the best.
The wait was worth it for the White-crowned Sp. shot. Thanks for explaining how you got it cause I was wondering.
Sure thing Mike. I’m a new by myself and am always learning
Very cool how you have the background blurry and the perfectly clear picture of the bird. Love the photo.
Thanks
