  Generally yes, but it can also be distracting. I do like clean out of focus backgrounds, but not always possible. Posted 3 years ago

    I like clean and messy backgrounds. Messy ones are fun to look at, but clean ones are often aesthetically pleasing. Posted 3 years ago

The Masked flowerpiercer

The masked flowerpiercer is a species of bird in the Thraupidae family. It is found in humid montane forest and scrub in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. Flowerpiercers got their name from the fact that they have a sharp hook on the tip of their upper mandible which they use to slice open the base of flowers to get at the nectar.
