COMMENTS: After a few days ago i present you a stonechat female shriveling on a cane in a cold morning, now i have a stonechat male shoot not very far from that place.
This bird was hard to get. I ran after it about 15 minutes on a distance of about 200 meters. Every time when I tried to approach closer than 10 meters, it flew on the next bush. After a time I managed to get close to about 5-7 meters and take this picture.

Hi Anghel
very nice image
well done.

Hello Anghel,

Great capture.
Nice colours with good detail.
Lighting and composition are fantastic.
Good notes.

Anghel

Lovely pose, the spikes of the plant really add to this. There is a tranquil feel to his added by the subtle colours.

Faina captura. Vad ca tot pe langa Brad e facuta:). Felicitari pentru noua achizitie(400mm f5.6).Cum e? Ai reusit sa-o testezi, esti multumit? Poate la iarna iesim la ceva "vanatoare".Eu ajung in Ro pe 9 dec. si stau o luna. Pe TN sunt cam rar in ultimul timp, mai am vreo 3 locuri pe unde public si timpul nu-mi prea ajunge....
Oricum tinem legatura.

Buna Anghel,

Fotografia aceasta este deosebit de frumoasa. In rimul rand ai realizat o compozitie deosebita, cu putine elemente, fapt ce determina privitorul sa se concentrezse asupra subiectului principal, pasarea. De asemenea imaginea este foarte buna din punct de vedere tehnic, claritatea fiind excelenta. Nu in ultimul rand culorile pastelate isi aduc contributia la valoarea acestei fotografii.

TFS si toate cele bune,
Cristian

Felicitari pentru aceasta fotografie reusita!

Good crisp image. Nice sharpness, and a good clean composition. The open beak is a bonus!
