Hello Pentti,
what a fine capture of the yellowhammer. It's great to see the brown colours on the back.
Well done! Cheers, Jacob

Dear Ram,

I like the colour very much. Sharpness is right where it belongs. Very usefull note, so I can learn more. Small photographers note: If you picture this animal from the side, I think we can even see it eating. There's a hole in the leaf! Beautifull job, compliments Arjuna.

Every time I read that a specie is endangered, it is just break my hearth. I think that humans have never realized how far it can go by destroying natural habitats or hunting.... Superstitions and poaching have caused so many severe damages too. This is a pity...

This is a superb portrait of this cute animal that look so special too me. Details, exposure, contrast are beautiful. I maybe would have let a little more space in the frame though. I like the expression in its eyes, like he was reading the future. TFS,
Claudine

Hello Irishues,
This is a nice composition with good colors. The butterfly is a little blurred and I guess that it is coming from this slow shutter speed you used; it must have been moving a bit. Your notes are interesting. We don't have Lantana here. Thanks,
Claudine

Hello Jane,
So if I understand those notes, this male will not have problem finding a female! I think that I have never seen such a red House Finch. I like the pose you captured with its split legs :) Thanks,
Claudine
