[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
Brahminy Myna ( Sturnus Pagodarum ) : A familiar bird around towns, it also frequents lightly wooded countryside far from habitation, and is found from the Himalayan foothills south across India to Sri Lanka. Although dependent on trees for nesting and roosting purposes and as songposts, it is, like most of its family, mainly a ground feeder, taking both animal and vegetable matter. It is also attracted to flowering or fruiting trees.

Bonjour Farid, votre shot est superbe. L' attitude de l'oiseau est magnifique. Belles couleurs et trés bon piqué. Mes félicitations Didier.

Hi Farid, excellent shot :) Great sharpness, details, BG and composition. Very well done :)

Hello Farid,
Great shot, POV is good - funny the bird seems not to have a tail.
Good background, very sharp and bird is off-center.
Well Done - TFS.

Hello Farid, This is an excellent capture! Very sharp and detailed, with very good colors, light, DOF and an interesting pose. Well composed also. Only tiny nit is the small twig you caught in front of the bird..Very well done!

What a great capture Farid. Very good sharpness and dof, plenty of details in the plumage, great colours and the background works really perfect. The composition with the bird looking into the picture is excellent. I agree with Howard about the twig in front of the bird but it is a minor thing and you cannot always make them pose the way you want;-).

fantastic shot Farid. so sharp clear. I like the pose of the bird as well. TFS!

Cet oiseau est très très joli, Farid. I don't think I have seen this one before. I like the pose of it, with his head turned back. The colors are beautiful. You caught it with sharp details and in an excellent composition. Very good job and merci bien. : )

Hello Farid,
Magnificent capture. Very good details, colours and PoV. I loved the way you composed the frame with horizontal lines of the twigs, fine background and looking space.
Very well done.

Very nice picture ( PoV,sharpness, details, BG and composition). I like it.

Il y a de fort belles photos sur votre album. Je commencerai cependant par celle -ci, qui est superbe, tant par son piqué, que la pose magnifique de ce bel oiseau. Le ton de l'arrière-plan met le sujet en valeur, et le cadrage de l'ensemble est très artistique. Une très belle photo, Farid!

it is an amazing pic...
wonderful pose... great natural colors...
very well done...

Superbe photo, Farid, par ses couleurs, sa netteté, sa composition et son arrière plan qui convient on ne peut mieux au sujet. La finesse des détails et la délicatesse des tons me rappellent certaines peintures japonaises. Ma liste de photos favorites vient de s'allonger.

Great compo using the negative space where the bird's stare is directed. Technically excellent too.
