This is a very common thrust in Sweden but I have not managed to get a decent picture until now. It’s very quite and hides in the bushes so you don’t notice it.

Lovely pose on the log and nice position of the head. Well contrasted against the pretty green BG. A bit soft.
Regards Toni

Hi Gert, the link does not work.

Excelent shot and well done on this composition of the Thrush. What's the full name in english, Redwing thrush?

Excelent work, the background shows it off well.

Great close-up shot Gert. Very nice even background. Details shows well. Great pose and composition.

very nice pic! I can see some grains towards the tail though but doesn't affect the overall beauty of the shot.

I thought it looked like a Thrush. Excellent capture against the green BG making it stand out so sharp. I love his pose Gert. Details and colours very good, and thank you for sharing.

Their tabby plumage is beautiful and you've expressed it very well, Gert. Perfect pose too, and nothing else than the bird in his magnificence. You are lucky to have them in Scandinavia now. They will only come back here in winter.

Good one Gert, very clearly seen, in a very good pose, good to see they made it home

nice clean shot! excellent pose and eye contact. A bit noisy and soft on the head though. An excellent effort nevertheless. Well done.

Superb shot Gert!
Clear eyes,details,BG,DOF,framing and composition are perfect.TFS...:-)

Nice shot Gert, Good details, colors and I like your POV. Like the solid green BG too..Great shot, TFS

Hello Gert!
Superb shot with great details and excellent sharpness.Simple BG,lighting and composition are perfect.Thanks for sharing.

This is a lovely shot Gert. Your DOF and BG are fantastic and I particularly like the detail and sharpness. Beautiful tones in the bird and great composition. Nicely done :)

Glad you restrained the sharpening on this - it is a little soft, but the details would have been lost. Shows the distinguishing color under the wing, the beak structure, etc. very well

Good portrait. Very clear and sharp. Nice shot

Excellent shot, the background is amazing. Looks prety sharp to me, exept around the head which is very slightly fuzzy. Perhaps its a bit to centred. But its better than anything I can produce, well done.

Hello Gert.
Personal assessment of the photo: excellent in all the aspects.
Very strong visual impact.
Aptness of the photo for the site: excellent.
Personal assessment of the note: complete.
Thank you very much for sharing this more tha a decent picture. BG, pose, sharpness, DoF, PoV, eye, colors. All is perfect. The only nit is perhaps the noise under the tail but who cares. It must be caused by the reduction for the site.

I think you have managed to catch a very decent shot of this redwing Gert.
Love those eyes, and it is clear to see why he would be difficult to spot out in the woods.
Great capture, thank you for sharing him and congratulations.

Excellent shot Gert, superbe nettete et tres belle composition, l'arriere plan fait bien ressortir ton oiseau.
Amicalement Christophe

Gert, what a pretty subject. Excelent POV. Super sharness allowing great details. OOF BG enhances this shot. Wonderful work. Thanks
