Hello Mario,

He does look a bit nervous!
The details of his plummage are very good indeed, both for colour and texture.
The movement of his wings really increases the feeling of nervous anticipation, as if he is about to fly off at any minute!
A lovely setting, with a nicely blurred b/g and good composition.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Mario,

I like it!! The face of this White-crowned is just beautiful with perfect details and colors. The fluttering wing is wonderful - I see many juveniles doing that but rarely an adult.

Bonjour Mario,
Great semi-action shot. Your "birds of Quebec" series is simply excellent - so is this piece. Absolute top image with informative note. Bravo.

Mario,
Funny, Looks like it's waving at you or some kind of gesture. I love the rich tone of the background that contrasted the bird very well. Great sharpness on the cute littel model. The light is very well contrast that show much of the details as possible. Congratulations! Once again. Amazin gallery you have.

Hello Mario,
The color, exposure, DOF, and flashwork look great..
The wing & tail feathers blur shows movement well also.
Looks like the typical reaction when the bird is very close and hears the cameras shutter mechanism.
Well done & TFS,
Howard

Another wonderful shot! I have very little experience using the flash in bird photography but the few times I did use it, I ended up with similar behavior being displayed by the bird. Whether the birds get scared by the noise of camera or the flash, it is really incredible that they can react so fast to any disturbance. I guess this is what allows the birds to escape in time when danger is near. I like the fact that you've manged to show the detail of the plumage while the wing is blurred. Makes for an interesting shot. TFS.

Best Regards,

Martin

Bonjour Mario,

Une bonne capture du mouvement de l'aile du Bruant à couronne blanche qui se prépare à quitter cette grosse branche. Les détails et les couleurs de l'oiseau sont clairs et nets. Les couleurs sont rehaussées par la qualité de la lumière. Bonne journée.
