Focus On Their Eyes

When a bird's eyes are in sharp focus, they become the image's focal point. By ensuring that the bird's eyes are in focus, you can create engaging and captivating images that draw viewers in and help them connect with your subject.

Using single-point autofocus allows you to precisely target the bird's eyes. This technique adds depth and emotion to your photographs, capturing the bird's personality and essence.
