Hi Ivan,

I am drawn to the colors in this picture - just beautiful. It looks like a set designed just for the Godwit. The bird is lovely and he seems to have his eye on you. Wonderful details.

Hi Ivan.
You managed to picture a very cute bird at the natural environment. I like excellent details of the bird and level of sharpness and blurriness of the surroundings. Colour palette is true spring and pleasant for look. Composition of the short, as always for your pictures, is excellent.

Ha Ivan,
the call of this bird is so great. I just love it. Despite the bad developments in their beeding succes, there are luckily still places where we can enejoy the godwit. Nice to see the bird in it's natural habitat.

Hi Ivan,
A fresh picture is always welcome; it helps in getting connected with the immediate reality of your surroundings. The arrival of this bird heralds the beginning of a new cycle of seasons.
I learnt how to use and lasso and blur from you some time ago and tried it experimentally on some pictures. It is a potent tool but requires rock steady hands to manipulate the rather erratic progress of lasso tool :-).
In this picture, you have used it quite expertly though the separate segment it creates is unmistakable.
Anyway, the subject is very well captured.
TFS.

great photo!

only one thing: why image isn't very clear. it appears to me a bit outfocused.
then I see that you apllied neat image. but you did it only for BG or at the whole image?

I never apply it on my sobject.

sharpen for sobject
blur for BG

how you made it?

I'd posted a workshop.

bye, mario
