Bonjour Asbed,

Les branches et les feuilles cadrent bien l'oiseau. la prise de vue permet de voir en partie les détails et les couleurs de la Bécasse d'Amérique. L'image est claire et précise. L'utilisation du flash donne un bon rendu aux couleurs. Bonne journée.

Hello Asbed,
A very nice capture in your American Woodcock series, this time showing an adult on its nest. Most of it shows well with excellent sharpness and colours and the fact that the bill is not visible is part of the difficulties in photographing this species in its habitat.
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

Hi Asbed,
you have captured the bird rightly in its surrounding well intact.
Very original and very well remdered in details. The blurry small plants make the composition very special.

Asbed my good friend, I don't know how you are able to spot such birds but I'm glad you are able to do so, I'm gone for a while but now I'm back and is great to see your pictures again... I'll be back for more!

Dear Asbed,
Another well presented documentary photo, taken with good photographic skills.
You obviously walk a lot in the woods and are VERY observant to have spotted the bird on the nest. Quebec is a beautiful part of the world, and I hope to see many more photos from you.
Have a nice week-end
Regards
Ingrid

Great capture Asbed!!
How did you ever see this little guy, he is so well hidden?
Good detail and nicely composed with very natural colors!! Love the low POV and great DOF you managed to get. TFS.
I can't remember the last time I actually saw a Woodcock.
