[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Usually birds are sitting on the shadowed side of the tree. I have had very few occasions to see the birds sitting in full sun.
The day I took the photo temperatures were so low that I met several birds sitting in full sun and worming up. Not even my presence determined them to fly away.
I took advantage of this unusual situation and made several photos. This is one of the Blackbirds (Turdus merula) I have photographed.

Hello Cristian,
A fine capture of a very light-coloured female Turdus merula captured from below with almost total sharpness despite the low aperture in fine lighting and set in a pleasing composition with the branches of the tree where she sits.
TFS this fine image,
Have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hi Cristian.
Sunlight makes wonders (as well as your skill) and makes colours and details are very attractive. I like very much excellent reproduction of impressive tree branches and bird on them, fine pose of the bird and amazing smooth BG created by blue sky and blurred twigs. Well done and TFS. MY best wishes.

Ciao Cristian,
bella immagine di femmina di merlo catturata in una classica posa di questo uccello, ottime definizione ed esposizione che permettono di apprezzare perfettamente i dettagli e le tonalitŕ dei colori, molto bella anche l'ambientazione fra i rami con gli squarci di azzurro del cielo.
TFS.

Nice detail Cristian, good POV from below.
I also like the blues of the BG, and the bit of snow remaining on the branches..
Well done,
Howard
