Default M9 and birds...
I made this and more on a recent trip to nearby bird gardens with my son. A lot of critiques have told me this combo of camera/lens is not suited for this type of photography,- I disagree. What do you think?

I think that it works well with captive birds like this but what about shooting birds in the wild? Nice shot and I think the OOF wing is only because you used a low fstop thereby giving a shallow DOF. Nothing wrong with that.

That was intended, shooting with Leica 35 mm at F1.4!

Am actually surprised as much is in focus at 1.4.. those wings are pretty long! I can see however why people would say 35mm not suited for bird photography.. I struggle with 420mm LOL.. Beautiful shot of this Blue and Gold Macaw
