What is the hardest subject to photograph?

Birds. I have the most trouble taking photographs of birds. I mean, good photographs of beautiful birds. I have taken plenty of average (and blurry) pictures of average (and blurry) birds. None of it is too interesting. It’s all disappointing.
It’s not that I like birds. My mom likes birds so I’m always trying to get a photograph of one so I can give it to her for (insert holiday here).
I keep trying but I haven’t taken one good enough to give to my mom. Also, you have to be really patient and really quiet, in order to get the shot. I will need to do a ton of yoga so that I can build up my patience points. A ton of yoga.
I totally agree with birds being so hard to photograph, even with a decent camera. Your photo is really good though of the red crested flicker. ( I think that is what it is?)
I’ll have to ask my mom. She knows I’m sure. If not, she has one or two guide books of birds.
Thanks, but only if it is no big bother to you. I know how time can be limited with all we have going.
Thanks 🙂
