I typically {photograph} the birds in a selected means and I edit my pictures primarily based on how effectively they will translate right into a portray. Birds are wild creatures and they’ll do what they need. For these causes, one in all these images can finally decide how I create a composition.

Once I realized that each one the strains within the view have been converging onto a single level within the distance: the top of a statue of Apollo, the image for Louis XIV who constructed the gardens.
