Requirements 2 & 5

Requirements 2 & 5: motion blur & poor composition.

I’ve taken the photo of hummingbird chicks without intention to capture motion blur. So, I used aperture priority mode with setting aperture to f/10 and using ISO 1000 to make both chicks sharp. But then suddenly one chick started flapping it’s wings. When I looked at the photo, I was very surprised since automatic shutter speed was 1/400, which is pretty high number and it wasn’t enough to freeze the bird’s movement. Furthermore, the rule of thirds is broken in the photo since the main subject is centered into the photo. The picture would be more dynamic if it's cropped following the rule. I also feel that out-of-focus tree branches are distracting, but they show that the nest is hidden in the bushes.

In post production, I slightly increased lights to make make photo more bright.
