I chose this photo because I thought it was really good. The lighting is very pretty and all the colors are bold. The main reason I chose this was because the bird was in the sun and I though it looked cool. I tried so many times for this picture and finally I got it. My goal was to get the bird in the sun and I did. I used the sports mode on my camera to get this, because the birds were moving so in order to make it focused, I used the sports mode.
