Concerning my previous post(s), I want the thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Of course it doesn’t matter whether you are a novice or experienced or whether the subject is nature or photography.

Today’s post is a Pycnonotus tricolor or Dark-capped bulbul. The link provides more in depth info concerning the specie. The ‘pose’ is slightly different compared to my other Bark-capped bulbul images which you can view in my Bulbul theme.

Have a nice weekend!

Hi Annick. This is a fine close up of the bird i have never seen in the wild. From you picture you can see it has a long neck. you have captured good detail and colours. I like the crop giving a long picture. TFS.

Hi Annick,
Firstly, splendid capture of this beauty my friend, I loved especially its posture! Secondly, you can sure that I will use your previous stunning capture in my future books on Herpetology:) (I appologise that I forgot to mention your kind invitation on this, "big pardon").
Many thanks sharing this beauty my friend!
Have a nice weekend!

Hi Annick,
Wonderful shot of this Dark-capped Bulbul. Very neat and sharp image with great eye contact. The morning sunlight provides perfect illumination and you have captured a fine and elegant pose here. Excellent DOF isolates it from the BG and I like your chosen POV to portray it. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.
