The detail is so good, I can almost see the landscape reflected in the little eye :)
Lovely horizontal composition and pleasant colours.
Best regards, Felipe.

Hi Geatan,

Welcome back with this image of the common, but lovely Blackbird.
You've done an excellent job on composition, DOF, sharpness and exposure.
Colors and feather details are beautiful.
Wonderful soft BG color tones against wich the bird is crearly visible.
Pity though there is some kind of a soft spot in the bushes on the right hand side of the image, but this does'nt effect the beauty of the image to much.
Very well done. TFS!!!

Best regards and have a nice weekend,

Harry

Hi Gaetan,

It's been a while since you last posted and nice to see you back with this wonderful Blackbird. A beautiful picture showing the bird off well in fine detail and a great black. I love the yellow eye and beak. He is posing nicely on the bushes with the nice background behind him. A beautiful composition.

Hello Gaetan,
Very beautiful photo in a great composition. The colours are fantastic, also in the OOF BG. Great sharpness, DOF and POV. I've tried to correct the soft piece in the hedge in a workshop. I hope you don't mind.
Regards,
Peter

Bonjour Gaetan
Le merle est un oiseau qui n'a pas souvent les honneurs de tn, et là, c'est un juste retour des choses. Cette photo est très belle, et serait même parfaite s'il n'y avait cette petite tache de lumière à droite. Le fond derrière le merle est idéal.
Cordialement,
Antoine.
