One of the Australian magpie subspecies.

I had to crop this image a fair bit which helps show some of the magpie’s details more clearly. However, it makes me want to get closer next time I’ve this opportunity as I want to see this looking sharper with less noise.

I feel as though this image does a decent job of showing the magpie watching me in case I got too close; at the same time it almost seems as though it is looking elsewhere.

This is my submission into Leanne Cole‘s TPM photo challenge for this week.

The theme for this challenge is “Your Local Area”.

I suggest checking out Leanne’s photography, as well as checking out what other people submit into the challenge.

You can find the challenges here.

I hope you enjoy.
