Hi Nicholas,

another great picture from you, that shows a bird.
The blurred green background is perfect. The Chaffinch is captured sharp and detailed.Colors are very beautiful and natural.
I've not often tried to take pictures of birds, but when I did, the results have been very bad ;) Most of the time, I didn't even get close enough.

Hello Nick,
Once again an excellent portrait of a male Chaffinch with fine technical qualities.
No sign of the foot desease but the eye looks as if it has been affected, or it might be due to moulting as this looks like a young male that is gaining his adult plumage.
Interestin image and thanks for sharing it!
Have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hi Nick!

This is great news! I remember your previous picture with infected bird and I hope disease gone for good. Quality of picture is perfect. It looks like slide. Vivid colours, superb sharpness. You're master of small birds photography!

Young man is fine :-) After my two weeks long maternity leave I'll return to work and Michal will go to nursery. He's very lively and merry boy.

hello Nicholas,
The Chaffinches have so fine and subtle plumage, which you show perfectely in your picture.I also like the brilliance in the bird's eye. Looking at your picture there is something strange with the background, it is like the bird would have been posed on it, but the colour fits perfectely.
Have a nice weekend

There is a certain almost dimensional or geometric appearance to this ones head Nick. Not sure how that comes off but perhaps it is just because of eh optics and seeing the particular pose with blending of colours which give it depth. fine green mosses..a good overall natural image.

I haven't been posting on a regular basis lately and I have gotten behind on comments/critiques. This is my favorite of you last dozen or so. I love the deep rich colors and the way they contrast with each other. I also really like the composition and the DOF and green background. Nice sharp detail on this beautiful bird.
