Hi Annick

Great shot - superb composition with great lighting and detail. The green BG really makes the bulbul stand out well.

Le due immagini sono effettivamente differenti, ma entrambe molto belle e tecnicamente perfette, la scelta è soggetiva, per gli effetti di luce preferisco quest'ultima. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Comparing the 2 photos I prefer this one. The catch-light in the eye is bright, and it is a lovely capture of this beauty. This lens works so well.
Cheers

Well composed, framed and post processed. As usual the DOF is perfect for the shot.

--------------------------------------------
Interesting note regarding Satish's comments about your other image "Pycnonotus tricolor".

Satish probably would not say the same thing about this image. That is because there is a significant difference between the two pictures. In this one the bird is directing attention INTO the frame. In the other the bird is directing attention OUTSIDE of the frame. (By design) But that is normally considered "bad" visual design. Photography students are taught that early in their education.

I believe his comment was only intended to point that out.

That is not to say it should be done in every case. It is only to say that you usually would direct attention inward and rarely outward.

Another lovely capture of this Bulbul!
I love the composition here.
Great sharpness and detail.
Lighting is a bit harsh but you've handled it very well.
Brilliant DOF.
The disk-like seeds on the branch are a bonus!
Well done Annick!

Joe :-)

Hallo Annick,
Even een weekje er tussenuit geweest op Terschelling. Een prachtig eiland, ook om te vogelen, maar dan moeten niet de accu's van je fototoestel leeg raken, zoals bij mij gebeurde. (geen oplader bij me, grrrr...)
Nu is het broedseizoen en zijn veel gebieden gesloten, maar evenzogoed toch nog erg veel gezien. Bijv. voor het eerst een velduil.
Erg mooie foto van deze Bulbul. Het licht, de kleuren, de compositie en de details zijn weer geweldig.
Groet,
Peter
