Hi Ahmet,

A very handsome bird that we do not see here. His face resembles my favorite sparrow - the black throated. I love the pose and the attitude of the bird. Wonderful colors and details of the face, eye and feathers. A perfect background and composition.

Hi Ahmet. A fine pose of this Bunnting bird. Which you have taken with sharp focusing and fine detail. I like the way its head was turned to look your way. It has nice markings on its back which you have captured so well. With natural colours. Just a little close crop on the face side. but still a good picture. well done TFs.
Nick..

Merhaba Ahmet,
A fine capture of Emberiza cia taken with excellent sharpness and colours in a good pose with the head turned enough to see the details from this POV.
I inclusion of the whole curvature of the branch that it stands on is a good reason for this composition.
Cok tesekkür ederim dostum!
Best wishes to you and your family,
Ivan
