Hello TN!

First off, thank you all for such kind words! I appreciate it :)

Tonight, I'd like to present another shot of the Juvenile House Wren I found resting in a Sumac tree last week. This shot was taken right before the bird flew off - it woke up and decided to stretch its wings before taking flight. Again, the lighting was very difficult to work with and produced some unforgiving shadows. Most TN members liked the last shot I presented so here is one more from the same series.
This shot did not come without a price. Soon after I took this shot, my eyes started itching like crazy. There must be something around this pond that just doesn't work well for me. (standing inside dense bush and sumac trees to take this shot might not have been all that beneficial either). I don't know what it is that grows there but I have included a link to a web site that details the dangers one can encounter in North America. It is an interesting read. Take care all!

Best Regards,

Martin

Outstanding details. Superb capture Martin.

hello Martin

superb close-shot of the Juvenile House Wren, his wing
with the feathers is displayed on a wonderful way,
you shoot the image at the excellent moment
with fine POV, DOF and framing, lovely luminosity
and colours of the image, specially the background,

since i am using my small compact Nikon Coolpix i am
realy loving what Nikon is giving in luminosity and colours,
