Hi friends
The art of the camouflage, the truth is that this dipper it completely passed camouflage between the margins of the river and between stones and root. This it was sleeping the "siesta" or rather "microsiestas" (term that if I am not mistaken Salvador Dalí used, to explain the time of the siesta who slept, said that it was the time that passed when loosen a lump of sugar and falling this one to the coffee), because this dipper it was dozing as it said and once in a while it were on the awares to verify that there was no danger. And as it said in the beginning this to dipper the camouflage is perfect to pass hidden in means completely where it lives. Granges zones with backlightings, stones and when this quiet hill work to be discovered much to him since it seems clear the dark more of the margin of rio. I hope that you like and thank very much for your comments.
Greetings

Hola amigos.
El arte del camuflaje, la verdad es que este mirlo acuático pasaba completamente desapercibio entre los márgenes del rio entre las piedras y raices. Este estaba durmiendo la "siesta" o mejor dicho "microsiestas" (término que si no me equivoco empleaba Salvador Dalí, para explicar el tiempo de las siesta que dormía, decía que era el tiempo que transcurría al soltar un terrón de azúcar y caer éste al café), pues este mirlo acuático estaba dormitando como decía y de vez en cuando abría los ojos para comprobar que no había peligro.
Y como decía al principio este mirlo el camuflaje es perfecto para pasar completamente desapercibio en el medio donde vive. Granges zonas con contraluces, piedras y cuando se esta quieto cuesta mucho trabajo descubrirle ya que parece un claro oscuro más del márgen del rio.
Espero que os guste y como siemper agradeceros vuestros comentarios a mis fotos

Precioso animalillo que muestra confiado su mejor perfil.
Un saludo, JL

beautiful shot!!

Hi Jorge,
you have captured a beautiful bird, it's one of my fav's.
It's strange for me to see it in summer plumage. I always find it in the winter in our small river. I have a post some picture of it.
Well composed, good details and nice colours.
Well done.

very nice and original after all the tigers and garden plants pics. Ori

A very handsome bird you have captured, Jorge.
I really like his subtle colors that offer him such good camouflage.
Very sharp details and great POV.

Hola Jorge,
La verdad es que Dali era algo raro... con lo bueno que es una siesta con pijama y orinal... muy bonito el emplumado de hoy, realmente te lo curras, saludos.

I love this bird.
I have 2 pics of a young one in my gallery!
Nice compo, colors, details and light on the eye.
Good note,

Andrea

Hello Jorge,
Excellent sharp shot of the Dipper together with good BG. Unusual to see a Dipper perched on a branch: all the ones I have seen in Sweden perch on stones in the stream or on the banks.
Thanks for the picture and the info, regards, Ivan

Excellent shot.
Great POV and composition.
Great sharpness and exposure.

Hello Jorge,
Very well done on the close-up work, as you manage to isolate the bird well in spite of similar colours in the background!
Wonderful details in the plumage, fine textures and colours...
The image is well composed and pleasant to look at!
