Good Morning Ivan
A fine shot of this pretty little bird. This is a species that is a rare migrant in my part of the world (seen more on the east coast of the UK) so I have never seen one yet. The dark background really makes him stand out, especially as he is in the sunshine. The over-exposed wing does not look too bad to me. Excellent notes too!
Kind Regards
Vinny

Merhaba Ivan,
Your both tele-macros of this fine looking Bunting are expertly captures in correct exposure and sharp focus, with a high degree of definition and plumage detail. The images look finely highlighted against the darkish and OOF natural BG and I don't believe that there is any overexposure on the wing my friend, those feather areas are just pure white. TFS this fine image.
Regards,
Mehmet

Hi Jim
I like the atmosphere in this shot. The subtle grey tones in the clouds catching the first rays of the morning sun are great. The trees in the corner bring a useful sense of scale to the composition. We get large flocks of this species in the UK too - it was introduced and is now a common bird.
Kind regards
Vinny

Uno no se cansa de ver tus excelentes trabajos y tan bien enfocados. La luz es bastante dura y no favorece al conjunto.

Hi Evelynn
Great colours on this pretty maple. I was in horticulture for many years so I'm familiar with many N American Acer species grown in the UK as ornamentals, but this one is new to me. Excellent composition and good use of the conifer (Abies of some kind?) as natural contrast.
Kind Regards
Vinny
