Through the Leaves

Description
We were driving to our cabin, above town, and my husband spotted Bluebirds flying around. He stopped the truck and I told him I would walk the rest of the way to our property, after I took some photos of the Bluebirds. I walked down off the road a little ways, as they got spooked by our truck. I spotted bright blue sitting in a tree and hoped the others were also around, so I sat down behind a bush. After a couple minutes, they were comfortable with me being there and continued flying and hunting for bugs. This shot, I wanted to try something different and from behind the bush I was sitting at, I crouched down and placed the golden leaves around the Bluebird, to create a blurred colour in front of him.
