hello Nasos

beautiful photo of Turdus merula, with very fine POV
and framing with the free space in front of the bird and tree,
excellent sharpness and details, and the catch-light
render the photo more beautiful as usual, TFS

Asbed

I like the POV here Nasos... well seen and presented. TFS. :)

Yet another superb shot, my friend Nasos!
The bird seems to be calling for its mate!
Excellent shot!

Hello Nasos !
A common bird, but still very beautiful ! I love the pose of the bird, here, with the beak wide open. He looks curious but also ready to fly away. Nice details, natural colors, wonderful composition - I like this wide open space in front of the bird, with blue sky. Very well done !
Valérie.
