Man oh man! :) You can do it all! Jij kunt alles Jaap, Macro's van insecten of een vogelkopfoto (een woord voor scrabble?). Prachtig gewoon. Wat een mooie kleuren en wat een scherpte. Great POV, DOF, colors & composition. Razorsharp details. Well Done! TFS

I see sadness on his face and in his eye. Great portrait Jaap. Detailed feather, his head rimmed by feathers looks like head of leader of Maya in ritual crest. I like nostalgic mood of your picture.

Belle prise et bonnes couleurs. J' aime bien les tons bleutés du plumage et du bec. Merci pour l'envoi.

He's so ugly he's almost cute ;-))
Nice and sharp capture of this birdie, good mug shot and good details in the feathers, good DOF.
Did you translate your note with one of the translation tools? I'm asking because it seems something has gone seriously wrong with the text, it's just about incomprehensible and doesn't make much sense - not to me, anyway ;-))

Great close-up of that "smelly" old chap, Jaap! Good composition, POV, DOF. The sharp details makes me appreciate this "ugly beauty", which I do like too. Detailed, instructive note too. Thanks for sharing.

Very good shot Jaap. This is a real scruffy looking guy. He obviously has no pride in his appearing on TN. I think you should have a word with him on that matter.( LOL )
Very good image

He looks a ragged old fellow, nice capture of this ugly bird. The POV and composition are good. Well done Jaap.

What a collection of different types of feathers!
Incredible nature, unusual "nacar" nose. Thanks.

Dag Jaap,
Als men wil spreken van gedetaleerd beeld, wel dit is er eentje van boven het niveau wat men gebruikelijk ziet. De scherpte en de kleuren Jaap zijn gewoon wonderbaarlijk.
Van mij alvast een dikke proficiat!
Groeten,
John.

This bird will never win a beauty contest - that is for sure. However it is an excellent capture. Lots of details, very nice colours indeed and a nice tight cropping. Well done Jaap.

Hi Jaap
Nobody can accuse this guy of being pretty, he is actually downright ugly, and that from me, a birder! But the picture is great, you caught him well, good POV, and there is even a slight twinkle in the eye.
Mooi gedoen Jaap.

Very good portrait, great pose. It could have been good to get a bit more space in front and on top.
Well done.
TFS.

Its a great shot Jaap. The details are sharp and the POV is nice. Your talent does however not make him more attractive. :) Ugly bugger! Great shot!

Jaap, great close-up here. Nice pose and composition, as well as great sharpness. Indeed, he seems to be a little sad.

Great shot. Congratulations.
