Hi Gert,

Congratulations on your 400th!!!

Well, old duck (;-) just kidding!), can't imagine why you changed birds ...

Good choice of post in any case, this is an excellent close-up with good detail and great colours, interesting POV, exposure is spot-on, and a true eyecatcher too.

To the next 400, keep them coming!

Your 400th is superb! Very beautiful colors in this perfect exposure. The light here was excellent. Detail is very sharp, and you control on the DOF is perfect. Great OOF backround. Composition and framing are flawless. OUTSTANDING!

+26C here right now Gert, 2.15pm, but we have a wonderful sea breeze flowing through the house to cool us down. The humidity is the killer here right now.

Great picture. Perfect composition, a nice pose, and the touch of blue in the background adds a bit extra. A beautifully crisp shot. I'm wondering why you have sold the lens that took it and are now using a 'lowly' Canon 70-300. Your more recent shot of crows, taken with the canon lens, is clearly less sharp. Are you saving for an even more expensive one?!

I am sorry, no critic, just added to my favs :D
Being serious, an EXCELLENT job. Maybe the BG looks a bit to "artificial" for my personal taste but I recon it is stunning. Congrats for the level of detail and clarity.
About my fungui, I have great shots waiting in the HD, Marco [Sacordon] is helping me with idents, and I have no much time.
