Hello neighbor! Thankyou for your warm comments on my photo :)
This is truly stunning!
I'm amazed at how close you got!
I spotted one of these in a tall tree once but it flew off almost immediately.
Goldcrests are the smallest bird in Britain as well.
You've captured the gold crest really well and with vibrent colour.
Excellent composition and POV.
Superb sharpness and detail.
I'd love to be able to build a hide in a forest but everywhere in Britain is private and there are very little areas where you can be properly isolated from everyone else, so other people are likely to scare birds away or vandalise the hide :(
I must come over to Swedan sometime and build one there :)
Great work Gert.
A big green "virtual" smily for this one :)
Regards,
Joe

Hej Gert,
Another lovely close view of a little Goldcrest watching you with its big round eye and showing off its golden crest! This is a very fine POV and details and colours are excellent as usual. Nice background too. How is life up north? Have you got snow at the moment?
Many thanks and cheers, Ulla

Hallo Gert
A stunner as usual and I can understand why this Goldcrest was on your wishing list. A spectacular and dainty little bird. A cute fluff ball. This is an excellent close up filled with a variety of features and details. I am sure the big black eye is bigger than that pouted beak. A special and colourful photo, and as usual it was lovely to look at. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Hi Gert

Its a very cute little kungsfåglen, just a tiny ball of feathers with a splash of yellow paint on his crown. Exellent sharpness and POV.

Hej Gert,
En till suverän kungsfågelbild!
You cant't get closer than this to portray this little ball of activity with such sharpness, excellent lighting and great POV showing the gold crest.
Well done my friend and thanks for sharing this cutie!

This is an excellent portrait Gert, I like the "cheeky" pose :)
I can't comment on the color yet, you know why..
Excellent closeup composition, sharpness, detail, DOF, and POV.
I think the evergreen top left, and the overall framing of the bird with it, works very nicely.

Hi Gert,
I found this a great close up!
It's so good the way you approach to his head, to let us see and enjoy the beauty of its coloured plumage there.
Nice lighting and composition!
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,

Hi Gert,
I it amazing that you can get so close to those birds. We have the same or similar specie here and they are so shy and fast moving and I don't see them often. We don't have them in winter as I think they migrate south. I guess that I'll have to build a hide too. This is an outstanding capture with superb details, excellent composition and POV! I'm very impressed by this picture. Congratulations!

Hi, dear Gert.
I see your hide is great idea and brings you a lot of pleasure and great photos. So impressive close-up. It is really superb. Composition and cropping are spot on. Details are extreme, DOF is fine (all image of the bird is sharp and all BG is blurred nicely), lights and colours are wonderful. Perfect job and many thanks.

This shot is special as well as the bird!
The sharp focus and the detail are excellent! The goldcrest looks as if it has been specially grooming itself ready for the photograph! The colours and the light are superb!

Hi Gert,
Thanks for looking at my recent picture. I'm obliged for your kind words.
I love that yellow patch at the centre of this little bird's head. Besides, it is a beautiful capture of a bird you have longed to shoot.
I am saving the greenie on your insistence.
Best regards.

Hej Gert
Du vet att de är en av mina favorit fåglar :)
Jätte fina detaljer och färg och väl komponerat också.
Hopas att jag får tillfälle att fota en också med samma kvalitet.
När åker ni till öarna?
Du snackade om att åka norr och fota en fin fågel som var tam, kommer inter ihåg vilken det var. Har du varit om inte jag vill vara med :)
Hälsningar
Ralf
