Watch your background

I've made the same mistake and likely do it again. Hopefully I don't publish it on social media.

Often when attempting to photograph wildlife I'm so intent on the animal I forget the background. You can, in post, select the subject and put it in a better background.  Yes I've done it, usually when a blah sky.  

But thank about the background. Often you can wait and try again. Either way don't post when when it's difficult to separate the subject from the background.
