hello all naturelovers!
A beautiful redpoll taken with 2,0 extender

info abaout this fine bird:

The Redpoll is a small streaky brown finch usually located by its loud rattling call. Redpolls can usually be identified by the little red spot on the forehead which gives them their name. In females, however, this red colour can be indistinct and in juveniles it can be lacking altogether. Such birds would have to be identified by their small size, chunky shape and streaky dark brown plumage, lacking the greens and yellows of Serine or Siskin’s or the white in the wing and tail of a Linnet or Twit.

Hallo Mikael
You really are a genius with a camera. This posting proofs once again that you are indeed a very talented photographer. What a striking bird. Only one word can describe the colours of the feathers and that is Breathtaking. Lovely pose, beautiful colours and contrast. Sharpness and exposure are excellent. Just love the red streak on the birds head.
Best regards.
Anna

Tjena Micke,
a RedPoll taken in March without any snow in the BG, amazing :-)
Fine lighting, nice natural colours and good sharpness with details.
Well done, mf.

Kanonväder idag? Jo jag tackar, det började regna när jag var nere hos strömstararna nu på morgonen trots en solig inledning.
I morgon blir det Canonväder med många bilder av lavskrikorna.

Hello Mikael,

Great capture.
Beautiful colours with fantastic detail.
Light,focus and sharpness are splendid.
Excellent composition and good notes.

Its indeed beautiful. The diffused lighting highlights the bird evenly and the colors are amazing. I love the simple composition also and the catch light! F8 seem to have rendered the right amount of DOF

Hi Mikael.
Stunning picture of a wonderful scene. Pictured model is amazing. Its natural "stage" is so beautiful as the main character. Tender, nicely coloured BG also is great. I am impressed with terrific sharpness and details of the bird (and vegetation), fine rich colours and pleasant soft lighting. Superb work. Bravo.
Alexei.
