COMMENTS: I shoot this in the botanical garden of Cluj-Napoca.


The “Alexandru Borza” Botanical Garden in Cluj is a very appreciated place of recreation and a valuable research resource for students and researchers, having connections with 450 similar institutions in 80 countries.
Occupying 14 hectares of abrupt and hilly land in the south of the city, it is the largest green area of Cluj-Napoca, displaying a large variety of flora specific to every season.
Founded in 1920, by professor Alexandru Borza, the Garden belongs at present to the “Babes-Bolyai” University. The Garden hosts the Botanical Institute, the Botanical Museum, a Herbarium, with over 650.000 exhibits, 3 hothouses, a Roman and a Japanese Garden.

Salut Eliz
Imi place compozitia la aceasta poza, si gaita a iesit bine , poate putin neclara in zona ciocului. In legatura cu cd-urile care ti le-am promis, cred ca pe luni ajung in Timisoara. Nu-i problema daca nu mai esti, sa ma anunti cand revii ca sa te pun in legatura cu persoana care le are.
numai bine

frumoasa compozitia , imi plac si culorile!

Hi Anghel,
Very good capture of Eurasian Jay; excellent pose and composition, sharp details, nice natural BG. This bird which is quite common is still difficult to photograph as it is timid and flies around. You have managed to get an impression that looks like smile. Great work!

Hallo Anghel
Once again a super image from your lens. This bird is captured in a pretty perfect and lovely pose. It is surely a super model, and I like the way its head is turned sideways, but its body is facing the front. This way one can observe and admire the details of its frontal view as well as the finer details in the face area from the side. The eye is a definite attraction. I like the new leaves at the end of the branch. It adds a special touch to this lovely image. Kind regards and thanks for sharing.
