COMMENTS:I shoot this bird on the edge of a small forest, 5km away from Margina village. I think this is a young male.
UDPDATE: I have like 50 pictures of this species, but only in this one the bird have a crest. I had problems identifying this, because i saw only front of the bird in the picture. Thanks to Parvulescu Lucian, an inactive member of Treknature for helping me identify this bird.
I think they raise their crest and singing in the breading season when they try to attract females.

Beautiful photo of bird with buds. Wish the background directly behind the bird was a different color but DOF helps. Nice ly detailed and well lit. TFS

This is a nice enough shot with good focus,exposure and colour.
I feel the composition could be improved with a different crop,so I've posted an example in the workshop.
Hope you don't mind.
Cheers
Steve
