[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This time a bird shot...

I always thought that the starling is a rather shy bird but this one was not! As I was going by ferry from Asian to the European side of Istanbul, it came right onto the banisters and looked for food on the floor of the ferry! I had just a second to take a shot of the bird which was 2 m. away from me and, off it went!

Hope you like it.

Hello Sayat,
Fantastic shot of the starling taken with excellent sharpness and details. I like the way you have captured the look of concentration on its face.
Thanks for the share,
Smitha.

Merhaba Sayat,
Magnificent close approach to this starling.
I like the inclined pose got, it seems the bird is looking carefully at you.
It's so enjoyable the textures and colours seen on its plumage.
Congratulations and thanks for share.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Sayat.
What a perfect shot of the fine bird. You managed to catch it at very attractive pose. I like excellent magnification and amazing sharpness of details. Superb diagonal composition and framing of the image. Bravo and my compliments.
