Stonechat on Thorns

An old photo that I got reminded of recently - a Stonechat standing on a thorny bush, looking ahead.

What do I like about this photo? It's very clean - the background is almost completely blurred out, since I used an open aperture (f/6.3 - the most open my lens supports at a focal length of 400mm), and the background was far enough from the subject. This creates great isolation of the subject, which is very sharp and interesting. The background colors add interest to the photo - it was taken in the winter and the colors show that. The thorns add a lot to the photo, so even though the bird itself does not cover a large area, the photo is still interesting.
