Hi Sabine,
This is our Christmas Bird, you can almost find it on every Christmas Card.
Beautiful colours, well composed and very good details.
I like the POV too.
Very well done.

I just drop in to wish you a Happy New Year.

Hi Sabine,
It's the X-mas bird here as well - so your timing could not be better.

I'd love to see it in my garden, but unfortunatelly all I have is huge herd of Sparrows and plenty of Great Tits ;)
It's a beauty and you've captured it very well.
I like it very much.
WELL DONE!

Very nicely detailed in the head and breast feathers, if one was to be extremly picky it would be the tail just dropping out of focus, maybe F5.6 would of got it but this sort of capture tend to be fairly quick so well done. TFS

Hi Sabine
This is a wonderful shot of this beautiful bird. You have brought out the colours and the superb clarity of his feathers...he has adopted a perfect pose for you. The plain, blurred background emphasises the detail on his plumage. Here in the UK, the Robin is our Christmas bird... thanks for sharing yours. Happy New Year to you. Best wishes, Vicky

Beautiful bird Sabine!
The detail is excellent! It looks like that Sigma 100-300 gets you plenty close enough. Let me know if Mario shares any of his secrets...;-)
I do like your bird!
Thanks,

Hallo Sabine,
zunächst ein frohes neues Jahr ins Allgäu.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu diesem hervorragenden Foto. Einen schöneren Dompfaff findest du in keinem Fotoband. Das Körnchen im Schnabel ist der i-Punkt im Bild.
Viele Grüße aus NRW,
Roland

Hi Sabine

I seen my first Bullfinch yesterday and today and was so impressed I needed another fix. This shot is so beautiful, very nicely composed and a lovely pose, the detail is just superb with beautiful colours and a lovely BG. I hope to get a shot soon but for now I will have to look through the bars of my Office Window.

TFS Hilary :o)
