Hi Hellashot (Greek?)
The reason for using a large apperture was to isolate the background compleetely so it doesn`t destract you from the main subject which in this case is the bird.
Of course i see what you mean about the feathers but sometimes when you shoot you forget to adjust settings.
I live and learn.

I wasn't talking about shooting at f14 or anything just a step or 2 smaller that would have left the background still blurry.
When you shoot you can NEVER forget to adjust settings. That'd be like a golfer saying "I dont think about where I want the ball to land, I just swing". Without the proper settings your great shots might only be good or fair or even a throw away if you went from bright area to a dark area without changing your ISO and you tried to get a shot of something and your camera was using too slow a shutter and then the shot is gone!
