This is an amazing photo, Ivan. I only see them a couple of times each year and then mostly from long distance. This is a real closeup and I am interested to know how you managed to get this close.

Perfect colours and lightning and I like the pose very much!

Hej Ivan,
a great picture with very good POV, before I read the note
I was thinking you must have used a ladder or are 3 m tall ;-)
Well composed with very good sharpness and fine details.
The colours are beautiful and the bird standout well from the BG.
Well done.

Hi Ivan. This is a fantastic shot of the Crossbill.you have captured it with sharp focusing and fine detail in the colourful feathers.and to get the shot with a cone in its mouth is a bonus. rich colours and good use of the light. so very well done TFS. good notes too.

Hi Ivan,
a special shot! Capturing this bird with a seed pod in its mouth is excellent. Sadly the only time I've seen one of these was dead one while on holiday in Italy :( I'm glad this one is happy though :)
+++ Excellent sharpness and detail especially in the feathers. Great contrast between the dull sky and vivid colours of the Crossbill. Decent composition and POV.
Very well done,
Joe

Hi Ivan,

I have never seen this bird before and this shot is some introduction. Just marvelous! I love the pine come in his beak. Fantastic colors, the sharpest of details, and my favorite composition with the bird on the treetop.

Hi Iavn,
impressive super sharp focus and clear detail, even after cropping. Exposure and composition are very good too. Like the way he's clutching his Pine Cone so tightly.

This is a beautiful capture of Common Crosssbill, a species unfamiliar to me.the focus is spot on. Good sharpness and details.Lovely blue sky aginst which the bird stand out very well. The beak of the bird does look very powerful.Nice moment captured with the corn in it's beak and the bird in natural surroundings.

Hello Ivan,

This is an excellent capture of bird I've only seen in pictures. The long focal range allowed you to reach to it and get this splendid profile with the cone in the beak. The blue sky is a perfect background and isolates the subject nicely. The blurred branches in the foreground convey the impression that we see the bird from a hide. The noise created by the ISO 400 setting is so low that I barely noticed it. Exposure was well controlled in spite of the strong sidelight keeping harsh shadows to a minimum. A real wildlife picture of a species we don't see very often here on TN! Thank you!

With Friendly Regards,
Eddie
