Hi Omer,
you start with a beautiful picture of a beautiful bird.
This one is rare up here and for two years ago we had one here,
the first in my county, Gästrikland.
Fine sharp details with a nice POV and lovley colours.
Great work.

Welcome to TN.

Hello Omer,
A great start! Welcome to TN!
Fine capture of a male Penduline Tit building its nest with good sharpness, from a fine POV and set in a pleasing composition.
I can just imagine that high pitched call!
Thanks for sharing this fine image and look forward to seeing more from you!

Hello Omer and welcome to TN!
What a start - this capture is wonderful. We have this bird nesting in our wetlands too but it's hard to get a shot like this! I love the way it has taken a pause in the nest-building to sing a little song! Excellent focus, sharp details and lovely colours in this beautiful composition.
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Merhaba Ömer,
A fine start you've made in TN with this excellent shot of a male panduline tit in its newly built nest on a willow tree. Your shot also has ecological implications, well done indeed!

Ömer Bey, TN'ye hoşgeldiniz. Trakuştan sonra sizi burda da görmek güzel. çok sevimli türlerden Çulhalar, geçen yıl yuvayla görüntülemiştim ama bu yıl yuvalısına henüz denk gelmedim.
çekiminiz çok çok güzel. elinize sağlık.
çok eşli olan bu kuşlarda erkek, yuvayı dişiye sizin görüntülediğiniz aşamada beğendirebiliyorsa kalanını dişi yapıyormuş. literatür öyle diyor:)

Merhaba Omer,
First of all, a hearty welcome to our small global community of nature photographers.
You have posted a fantastic picture by way of your entry to the site.
It is a sharp and clear image of a bird making a well-crafted nest to win the favours of a female. The bird sitting inside the airy nest and presumably giving a call to the prospective 'wife' looks very beautiful.
We look forward to seeing many more images of this quality from you in the future.
Best regards.

Hi Omer, Welcome to Trek Nature
And what a beautiful photo of this bird making his nest. Such a lovely image to start with. The focus and colours and lighting are all very good - it looks a 'happy' photo - I just hope Mrs Penduline Tit was happy with the building of it.
Well done

Hi Omer.
Thanks for visit and kind comments also as well as the opportunity to watch your amazing picture. Simply great start on TN-life. Subject cannot be imagine better. Despite the long telelens combination image is sharp, has nice bokeh. Its colour palette is sweet and very pleasant for look. Bravo and best wishes.

excellent shot.
Those nests are beautiful but seldom on TN. Nice to see them.
The pose is tremendous and the combinaition of green and grey tones is brilliant.
2 little nits:
- the frame is black while the pic doesn't contains real black. Consequently the pic looks a little flat. I would go for another frame color, or I would bring the darkest tone of the pic to pure black (this should be a very slight change).
- composition is very centered. Not sure what the best would have been. cropping the right would cause the bird to face the frame border. Cropping the left would cut out a part of the nest. Maybe a vertical pic would do the trick.

Be welcome on TN
Brilliant first shot
Keep up the good work

Hallo Omer
I do not have time to leave proper critique; I do however want to tell you that in my opinion this is a most spectacular, but also just about heartfelt scene. This bird really looks as if it is longing for somebody (somebirdie) special. Details of both the bird and the nest are great, but I must admit that nest is something special and almost looks handwoven. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards.

Hi Ömer again,

A late welcome to TN. :) Great shot and note, yes, this specie lives in my home country, Hungary, near the lakes and rivers of the Hungarian Lowlands. Not common.

The photo is great except for the colors: You used too much cyan and maybe green also. I hope You don't mind that I made a workshop with color correction. Otherwise a nice shot (8 out of 10 on my personal ranking).

Best wishes, László
