[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have taken this shot in Touran protected area.The Common Rosefinch (Carpodacus erythrinus) is the most widespread and common rosefinch of Europe, where it has spread westward from Asia. Common Rosefinches breed from Sweden and Siberia to the Bering Sea; the Caucasus, northern Iran and Afghanistan, Pakistan and the western Himalaya, Tibet and China; to Japan between latitudes 25º and 68º. In winter they are found from southern Iran to south-east China, India, Burma, and Indochina.

The mature male has brilliant rosy-carmine head, breast and rump; heavy bill; dark brown wings with two indistinct bars, and a white belly. Females and young males are nondescript with yellowish-brown above, brighter on the rump and grayer on head; buff below.

They are found in summer in thickets, woodland and forest edges near rivers and in winter in gardens and orchards, swampy vegetation and locally in dry oak woods.

The nest is placed low in a bush and the five eggs are dark blue with coarse dark brown spots

Very beautiful bird image with wonderful colors and color contrast between the red tones in the feathers of the bird and the blue color tones in the wonderfully soft BG.
Excellent work Seyed. Best regards, Harry

amazing pic, TFS Ori

Hello Seyed

Great picture of this beautiful Rosefinch - which we unfortunately do not have here in Denmark. As far as I remember I have never seen one of these before - not even on a picture. The bird is a real beauty and your way of capturing it gives it full credit. Excellent sharpness with lots of details in the plumage, very clever handling of the light keeping the the details in the dark areas. The colours look fantastic and finally you have put it all together in a perfect composition. A real masterpiece - well done.

Exposure is outstanding and you have captured very natural colors. Great blue sky background. Focus and details are excellent. Composition appears a bit unbalanced with so much space on left and a close edge on right.
