Hello Cristian,
Brosov must be very cold, with -8C. This is clear from your notes and at same time position of the bird. This is great capture for housesparrow on coniferous tree under snow. Great eyes contact, POV and focus. Nicely composed with green branches. Thanks for sharing, well done.

Hello Cristian,
I really like the composition on this one, with the young sparrow framed by the snow-laden pine branches.
The white snow is well exposed.
The details are sharp and the colors on the bird are rich.
TFS. : )

Hello Cristian,
Beautiful winter scenery in excellent sharpness. Splendid light on the Sparrow against the dark BG. Great funny eye-contact with a nice expression, as 'mind your own business'. Excellent composition and POV.

This is the third Hose Sparrow I's seeing today, Cris -- Ivan's from Spain, Nick's from England and yours from Romania.
Your is very special because it is in the midst of winter and snow. The colours on the bird are very attractive and you have captured it with its wings fluffed up against cold.
Well done and TFS.

Ciao Cristian,
bellissimo momento di cattura di questo passero con il piumaggio gonfio per ripararsi dal freddo, che mostri molto bene con la bella composizione, eccellenti POV e DOF, ottima definizione, mi piace molto la luce calda che conferisce bellissime tonalità ai colori.
TFS.

Hello Cristian,
Nice portrait of a puffed-up male House Sparrow in a wintery BG. The lighting is great and the composition with the contrasting dark BG pleasing. All the details are clearly seen, including a ditinct white eyebrow that is more characteristic of the Spanish Sparrow!
TFS this fine winter scene: here it is only -3 deg!
Kind regards,
Ivan

Bonjour Cristian,
Adorable petit moineau tout dodu. La photo a beaucoup d'atmosphère, dûe à la présence de la neige. Le plumage de l'oiseau est très beau et il est montré avec beaucoup de netteté. Belle photo, bien naturelle .
Un grand merci

Hi Cristian!

Your shot is very striking by the level of details! The light resulted by the flash in the light of the bird is amazing. I hope it moved afterwards to avoid freezing!

Great shot.

Buna Cristian

Am auzit si eu pe la stiri ca la voi a nins si ca mai totul e alb-frumos :)
Se pare ca asta nu l-a deranjat pe "tovarasul" din imagine care in afara de faptul ca e mai umflat, se pare ca e ok :)
Foarte bun close-up-ul tau, plin de detalii foarte clare, texturi foarte bine vizibile si culori excelent saturate.
Imi palce de asemenea adancimea campului vizual si, ca un bonus mic, licatirul acela mic din ochi.

Bravo si marci de postare

Hi Christian,
Sparrows are one of my favourite birds.They have been one of the most abundant of the birds in urban areas, but they seem to be dwindling in numbers.
This one you present from your visit to the zoo, is a very beautiful specimen caught in its very natural habitat.The colours on the lumage are rich and is well offset by the snow deposits on the branches.The bird itself is in superb clarity and sharpness.Very well done.
TFS & Cheers
