You are introducing me to another finch! A wonderful pose to really show off that red beard. Wonderful natural colors and details of his face and plummage. Thank you for posting this.

Hi Vicma!

A couple of weeks have passed since I was in your gallery for the last time. There are a lot of beautiful pictures to see and interesting notes to read. The same is true for this picture, held in fine colours. It's crystal clear, and the blurred background highlights the details.

Kind regards

Markus

Hola Victor.
Nunca habia visto una especie de este pajarraco, y vaya que tiene hermoso plumaje, muy parecido al de las Codornices que tenemos por aqui. Gran calidad en la foto Victor.
Cuando hace mucho calor por aqui, simplemente no dejo que se calienten las cervezas, me las tomo de volada.
Saludos

Hola Victor
Curioso el pajarillo este con la garganta cortada, je,je, menos mal que es sólo en apariencia. Preciosa captura con extraordinaria nitidez, claridad y precioso colorido. Me encanta la pose del capuchino con la colilla levantada.
Felicidades y muchas gracias por compartirla.

Seems like a slow shutter speed for a bird but it appears to have worked. It is sharp against an interesting blurred background. I like the rich color.

Hey Vicma,
I love that dash of red on this curious one...Very good details of the bird's head and frontal portion highlighted by the natural light.I like the way it is cpatured with a little curious look on its eyes.the expression comes across very clearly in the composition.

The colours on the bird's head itself is quite interesting with red, brown, black and cream adorning different parts.Somthing on the way you have caught it in this posture gives me the feeling that this is quite a busy body and moves quite fast.

Thank you for sharing this beauty.
Cheers

Hola Victor,
Precioso pajarillo y curioso el dibujo en la garganta- A ver si se anima Xotaele y no vuelve a deleitar con sus fotos.

Hello Vicma
A very interesting looking finch. He has very unique colours and pattern in his feathers, including the red around his throat. You've captured the little Finch all so well. Well done.
TFS Janice

Muy buenas Victor

Felicidades a tí por tus nuevos añitosssss,
Y a ver si Xotaele se anima a subir alguna cosilla, ya he visto que tuvo un calentónnnnn. Pero bueno como diría Machado "Todo pasa y todo queda... pero lo nuestro es pasar.... pasar haciendo..... fotos......" bueno lo último evidentemente es mio.
Un abrazote.

Pd. bonito pajarito y que ojazo le sacaste, vamos que me refiero a lo bien que te salió, no a que le extrajeras el ojo.

Hello Vicma,

Good picture of this bird with a very colored background. Details on the head are impressive. A lower POV would have been great but we don't always have the choice when photographying nature...

Cheers!

Michel

Hola Vicma, splendid bird with fantastic colors, wonderful blurry BG and fine details, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Vicma.
What an interesting and difficult for shooting subject. Pose of the bird is unusual and so attractive. Colourfulness of the image is great as well as the combination of lights and shadows. Both sharpness of the bird and blurriness of the fine BG are ultimate. Bravo.
Alexei.

P.S. I am surprised. I have post my comment few days ago and today I have not found it. I repost it again. Sorry.

This is a great capture of a beautiful little finch Vicma.
Excellent colour and detail.
Nicely composed.
Good work.
Cheers

Hola Vicma
Your posts usually from Spain, but this is from South Africa. I also like to visit there, maybe in future. Well, this is great shot for very beautiful finch species. Focus, colors, POV and composition very nice. Gracias y saludos

Hi Vicma,
This is such a particular bird! I have never seen it before! What a funny creature. The picture is very colorful and detailed. I like the effect created by this DOF and I'm amazed that you could caught such details at this shutter speed. Well done and I'll have a look at your website later :) Thanks,

Les détails et les teintes sont réussis

Me llama la atención la luz sobre el pajaro que lo hace destacar sobre el fondo. La imagen es muy clara con un gran colorido.
