Hello Mario,
Wonderful clear colours in this photo. The light and reflections in the water are splendid. The Bittern itself is in excellent sharpness and details. The choice of this composition is perfect.
But these reflections......WOW.
Regards,
Peter

Hi Mario,

I assume these are as difficult to see or photograph as their large European cousins. Very good capture of one in action with great pose and composition, sharp details, good BG and colours.

Hello Mario,
This is a beautiful Bittern that you've captured in a lovely pose among the reeds. Excellent focus that makes it stand out even in this busy image. I really like the reflections of the bird and the reeds in the water too. Well done!
TFS and regards, Ulla

Bellissimo momento di cattura di questo ardeide simile al nostro tarabusino, ma con colori mimetici diversi, ottimo POV, molto bella la composizione con l'ambiente del canneto e la postura tipica di cattura delle prede, buona nitidezza, bellissimi i colori. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hi Mario,

Can't get more natural than this with the wonderful Least Bittern and the beautiful natural setting. He stands out so well from the busy background. Beautiful colors, wonderful details - nature at it's best.

Hello Mario,

Wonderful capture, ripples on the water looks like an abstract.Bittern in action with very good details. Well captured behavior shot. Just wonder how this bittern can evade its own center of gravity when 3/4th of the body is away from the perch and tilted in downward angle. Rear tip of the body also almost inline with the perch. What an adaptation in nature!!. Bittern must be having enormous grip to hold on to that perch. Looking at the perch dia I guess bird must be gripping only just more than half of the circumference of the perch, still wonderful acrobatic display in nature.
Thanks a lot for sharing this amazing shot.

I guess you must have seen movement. From the picture it is hidden well especially in thumb. I could not for the life of me figure it out...VERY nice image and a change from your usual close ins. Nice work Mario!

Bonsoir Mario,

Les reflets dans l'eau sont des atouts à la composition. La prise de vue dirige notre regard vers le Petit Blongios. Les détails et les couleurs de l'oiseau sont clairs et précis. Les couleurs sont rehaussées par la qualité de la luminosité. Bonne soirée.
