Hi Gert,
beautiful portrait of this little fellow. I would maybe consider cropping the red blur at the top, the signal colour makes it a bit distracting. The sparrow shows off all its individual feathers, great detail, and the delicate structures make a great contrast to the solid rough texture of the stone it is sitting on, adding to the interest of this picture. Very well done!

Salut Laurent,
un possibilité excellente pour faire visible toutes les détails intéressants de ce papillon: les cheveux, l'oeil, la langue. Bien venu!
Regards,
Gabi

Hi Gerhardt,
this wonderfully captures the dynamic of flight, inspite of the close crop, which usually tends to make this difficult. The composition on the diagonal, the pose and direction of flight and the slightly striped BG under and beside of the bird all emphasize the uplift. Excellent post!
Gabi

Salut Laurent,
c'est mignon, ce jeune oiseau, justement sorti de son nid. Très belle avec le fond zébré, est le bec jaune intensif. Et le plumard - on peut voir tous les seules plumes! Fantastique!

The blue on blue. Wonderful clean portrait, you could count the feathers.

Beauty spread out. Effective diagonal compo!

Very dramatic pose!

Great collage of the egrets. Which software do you use? If it is possible with whatver you use, you could draw 1 square, fill it white, copy it 4 times and position each of them on each side, overlapping, in the topmost layer to give a regular passepartout/frame.

This is great, the implied movement gives it heaps of impact. The precarious position is emmphasized by the cross-hatch of the palm fronds and this complicated patterns somehow repeats in the head and bottom feathers that go every which way.

Great portrait, wonderful brownish orange tones in the iris that nicely repeat in the BG!
