Without words,

It has lots of art.

Hi Nasos.
Your shot is unique. It create and very nice impression. Low POV is amazing as well as transition from sharp FG to nicely blurred BG. Colouration of the image is touching and exposure and reproduction of the bird feathers (as well as all fine its details) are awesome. Great job. Bravo.
Alexei.

Hi Nasos,
such a lovely shot. the shallow dof really give this capture an effective view. The light too is wonderful, in rendering a lively shot. You have captured the moment of opening the mouth so well. Wide opened.
Great to note that you have patiently and work very hard to be consistent in this TN.
Very exciting combination of good photograph and metaphor in life.

Regards and congratulations Nasos.

Hi Nasos,
I'm calculating the focal lenth as
300X1.5X1.4=630mm
But I don't know how to calculate the
extention ring PK 13.
Well shot at f/5.6
TFS.

Hi Nasos,
Congrats with your first 100. I am sure many will follow soon. I really like your low POV and the moment you've captured. The wide open beak is not something you see that often. The warm colors and shallow DOF are both wonderful and gave full focus to your lovely bird. The sharpness on it is excellent. If there is one thing that is slightly less beautiful, its the OOF twig on the right. It does distract from the subject.
TFS,
Niek

Hello Nasos,

a very nice picture from this bird in unusual pov.
Good detail with warm colours.

Gert
