Good luck sometimes plays a significant part in making good photos.
Despite using professional equipment and having a high level of technical skills, every (honest) photographer will tell you that some of their best photographs are the result of just "Getting lucky".
That was the case in this photo. This was actually shot near dusk and during a light drizzle. My expectations were not high while shooting but the birds were putting on a good show while feeding so I figured, "Why not?" Like a few other posts this photo is a good illustration of shooting tight to maintain maximum quality while still allowing some cropping options. The lens used was a mid-range telephoto shot wide open (out of necessity in low light) and to create the shallow depth-of-field which directs you eye to the main subject.
Shot using a Nikon DX format DSLR with a 300/2.8 ED lens wide open. On board fill flash used.
