Valet Parking Crow

[flavio]

This ugly looking crow was walking the street back and forth. Just keeping the parking spot who knows for whom. Notice that his head is focused while his body is not. I had no intention to get it that way but I think it is a cool effect. If somebody could explain to me how this happend (so I can learn and reproduce the effect in the future) please do comment. Much obliged!

Perhaps its body was in motion while its head and the rest of the photo are not.

I was thinking about a backward motion of the head while the bird wsa walking forward. For that to come out sharp would have to cancel the overall motion and I just, coincidentally, happened to freeze it in my picture. If that is the case it will be hard to reproduce. Thanks for the comment and for taking the time.
