Winning photograph captures a bird in flight.
“I find when the photograph shows action and behavior, it makes for a much more compelling image than a ‘portrait.’ In this case, the bluejay was coming and going to the feeder most of the morning, so I had many opportunities to capture both action and behavior,” Steven Meisel says. “This was taken right out of my dining room window. I have bird feeders set up in a way that affords excellent views and, with the window open and the sun angle right, some excellent photo ops.”
