Hi Nicholas
Another beautiful bird in your gallery. Nice OOF background, pretty good sharpness and good compo with a bird on the right. Another important thing for me is a species of the bird I think that I have never seen the Dunnock ;-)
Best wishes

Hi Nick,

An exceptionally fine shot of this Dunnock in a wonderful pose. The colors and shadings are marvelous. Beautiful details of the face and plummage. I love the composition and the angle he forms with the branch. Beautiful work.

Hi Nick.
What a nice expressive shot. I like pose of the bird, similar colouration of the twig and dunnock and wonderful yellow-green smooth BG. Details and sharpness of the main subject are great. Composition is spot on too. Well done and kind regards.

Hello Nic,
Interesting pose and POV of this Dunnock caught with fine sharpness with the OOF BG of your garden helping to make him stand out. Dunnocks are not common and shy in Sweden but I would love to be able to take a shot like this.
Thanks for sharing it and have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hi Nick

Lovely shot of the Dunnock.
Nicely composed with a excellent POV and a fine pose of the bird looking downwards whilst holding onto the footholds on the branch with its big feet!
Superb details and good DOF.
Very nice colours with a especially nice OOF green BG.

Hil
Have good Weekend!

Hello Nick
You have done fantastically well to get this lovely Dunnock in such a good pose off the ground..I have a pair that are always in my garden but there are always in the borders.
I see what you mean about his feet...I think you have a rare cross between a Dunnock and a Sparrowhawk here!!....Perfect glowing light as well.
A good weekend to you Sir and I will mail you later about things.

Hello Nick,
I like Dunnocks but we don't see them that easily here. This is a great shot of this one in a lovely pose. Focus is spot-on and details very sharp. Good light too and beautiful colours. Nice background and a fine composition.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hello Nicholas,
Could be. I mean the nesting in the hedge.
Specific sound; similar to grandma's coffee grinder:-).
The evening light is very good.
Well done

Good morning, Nicholas

I'm sitting alone in my garden, it's early sunday morning, I'm back from a short walk. A blackbird is singing, my note book shows me your wonderful pictures. It's a good start in the day, isn't it?

Kind regards

Lovely photo of this Dunnock, Nick.
Very fine detail and excellent sharpness.
Well composed and a great POV.
Superb BG and a perfect DOF.
Nice light too.
I've tried many times to get birds to fly onto a branch before going down to the food but they never seem to want to... do you have any techniques or something? Also do you have any more info on the meeting-up with Horia?

Very well done!

Cheers,
Joe
