Hi Paul,
A fine capture of the Masked Weaver, sharpa and well composed with fine BG. Perhaps a trifle overexposed but this does not detract from the quality of this shot.
Well done and TFS,
Regards, Ivan

Hi Paul,
I like how you have managed the details here,
the compo. is strong, but I feel its slightly OE,
good framing :)
Cheers :D

Hi Paul

What a splendid capture!
The colors here on this beautiful weaver are simlpy ourstanding! You really caught them very well.
The side POV is exceptional and the DOF is impeccable - blurring the BG nicely and by doing so isolating the subject.
Also the composition is excellent and the exposure good.

Bravo and TFS

Bella captura con una composición armoniosa Paul a partir del agradable punto de vista y el correcto encuadre vertical.
Me gusta la agudeza y el foco captados, con escaso DOF que permite la difusión del fondo y así realzar el primer plano.
Sólo criticaría la intensidad de la luz, que resta algunos detalles del ave y su entorno.
Hice un workshop intentando optimizar este punto... espero sea de tu agrado.
Gracias y saludos... Ricardo

Beautiful capture with a harmonious composition Paul starting from the pleasant point of view and the correct vertical framing.
I like the sharpness and the captured focus, with scarce DOF that allows the diffusion of the background and this way to enhance the forefront.
Only I would criticize the intensity of the light that subtracts some details of the bird and their environment.
I made a workshop trying to optimize this point... I hope you like it.
Thanks and greetings... Ricardo
