Hi Vicma,
This little bird looks so sweet. You image of it is superb with wonder sharpness and the detail is great. The lighting is superb too. Excellent capture.
Cheers,
Debbie

Hello Vicma,
Although I think that the top part of the fence wich seems over exposed looking at the lighter stripe is a little distracting, I also think that this is a beautiful bird image with superb sharpness and exposure in the rest of the image is excellent.
Details in the feathers and catch light in the eye of the bird are wonderful and so are the soft green color tones, against wich the bird does stand out greatly, in the background.
Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,
Harry

Excelente luz, composición y enfoque. Como la gozas con ese objetivo ...

Hola Vicma,

bonjour vicma
une belle photo,l'oiseau se detache bien de ce BG foncé,il est bien detaillé.
peut etre aurait il été bien de supprimer le bout de mur en bas a gauche mais cela n'est qu'un detail.

Hola Vicma,
Wonderful shot of this cute Sylvia. Very sharp image with clear details on its plumage and nice colours. The alert pose and the glint on its eyes is so special and captured well. Fantastic lighting and the focus is absolutely spot-on. The neutral BG highlights the subject and your POV and DOF are great. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hola Vicma,
Te felicito por la paciencia y dedicación que nutres por las aves, no son fáciles de retratar, pero realmente ayuda una buena objectiva como la tuya. Me encanta como has aprovechado la posición del pajarito, el aprovechamiento de la luz, que le ilumina perfectamente la cara. La composición excelente. Me lo llevo como favorito.
Un abrazo,
Isa

Hola vicma, encandora captura, precioso fondo difuminado que da realce y nitides al pajaro, cada ves me sorprende mas su galeria. Sira

Oh Vicma, this is gorgeous. I didn't expect it from the thumbnail but it is super. The colors and sharpness are wonderful. I like the simplicity of the composition and the out of focus background. Nice work. We have the same camer set up so I'd better get busy and try to do as well. How much do you think you were able to crop from this image and still retain such good resolution?
