[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Redstarts are immediately identifiable by their bright orange-red tails, which they often quiver. Breeding males look smart, with slate grey upper parts, black faces and wings, and an orange rump and chest. Females and young are duller. Redstarts 'bob' in a very robin-like manner, but spend little time at ground level. It is included on the Amber List as species with unfavourable conservation status in Europe where it is declining.

Hello Marcin,
What a beauty! Maybe the composition is a bit too much centred, but the rest of the photo is excellent! Pose, sharpness, details, light, contrasting and clear colours, OOF BG and POV, they are all superb.
Regards,
Peter

Hallo Marcin
What a handsome bird. You captured this fine looking bird in a wonderful pose showing off his nice profile, the beautiful colours and finely detailed plumage. The pose against the neutral background is excellent, and the combination of colours is great. I cannot find any fault, but can only sing you praises, as this is truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.
Anna
