Well done Vicma!

Many thanks, Ulla

Hola Vicma, gracias por tus comentarios y por la información de Vanessa cardui, compartes un buen momento del baño de este pajaro bien enfocado, con buena iluminación y un color muy natural. Un saludo

Hello Vicma,
Wowww. This capture is really splendid in all respects. Nice colurs, reflections, great DOF and wonderful POV my friend. Well done!
TFS.
Cheers,
Bayram

Pues ni lo había visto ni sabía que existiera... yo de pájaros entiendo muy poco.
Enhorabuena por el nuevo objetivo aunque tendrás que usar trípode en muchas ocasiones. Yo tengo como sabes el 105 y tiro casi siempre a pulso, por lo que casi siempre también no me quedan bien las fotos como puedes ver en mi última toma, es raro que a pulso una toma quede perfecta en macro con tanta distancia focal.
Tu toma como siempre preciosa, tanto en naturalidad de los colores como en luz. Interesante en esa pose y en ese sitio con el plumaje chorreando. Buen enfoque, profundidad, encuadre y fondo. Un 9, jeje.

Abrazo.

Hi Vicma,
This is excellent, everything looks super. Beautiful bird.

This is a great little fellow, and he seems to enjoy to have his feet chilled!
I'm impressed by the details in the plumage and attractive colours, DOF spot on isolates the subject nicely...

This is a lovely looking bird, even in its sodden state. Lovely level of detail really brings out the subtle head and wing feathers, and the wonderful yellow plumage. Lovely shot and great photographic technique.

Hola Victor.
Me fui de vacaciones con Lidia, apenas regrese ayer, todo fue exelente.
Muy hermosa esta foto que por algo me la habia perdido. Muy bellos colores y la pose dentro del agua luce de sobremenera. La nitidez de alto nivel asi como un fondo difuso que contrasta con el objetivo principal.
Saludos Victor.

Hola Victor
Extraordinaria foto de este bonito pajarillo. Es la primera vez que oigo del Alpispa, ¡qué nombre tan curioso! Me encanta el tono amarillo de sus plumas. Tiene que ser la mar de llamativo verle revolotear. Tienes una preciosa colección de fotos de aves dándose el chapuzoncillo. Me encanta.
Felicidades y un cordial saludo.

bonjour vicma
l'heure du bain offre de jolie prise de vue,avec beaucoup de details.la nettetéest tres bonne et le BG met parfaitement l'oiseau en valeur.

Esa "bañera" es todo un lujazo, menudas especies te entran. En mi comedero de cinco estrellas.... les pongo, cañamones, pipas, alpiste, mijo, negrillo, manzanas, ciruelas, fresas, larvas.... vamos que tienen donde seleccionar.... y los muy cabritos no entran, nada más que el carbonero y algún que otro despistao de herrerillo ahhhhh y una curruca capirotada.....
Bueno me consolaré con ver tus picos y otras avecillas....
Un abrazote.
