Bonsoir Jean-Paul, ces oiseaux ne sont pas celui facile à tirer, avec ce genre de clarté. Je sais, j'ai essayé. Vous avez un grand projectile, avec la capture du détail d'oeil et d'oiseau, et le détail très bon de la neige dans le premier plan. Merci, John

Hi Jean-Paul, These birds are not that easy to shoot, with this kind of clarity. I know, I've tried. You've got a great shot, with capture of the eye and bird detail, and very good detail of the snow in the foreground. Thanks, John

Hi Jeanpaul,
lovely contrast and composition here,
the little bird looking for a meal on the snow carpet, good control of whites, and lovely details on the bird :)

Hello JP,
Obviously winter has arrived!
Those guys are used to it and have their survival techniques, but personally I have started feeding season by now...
Well exposed, excellent plumage colours & details, good pose too!

Bonjour Jeanpaul,
Il semble que vous ayez déjà de la neige. Ici il fait anormalement chaud encore.
Adorable petite mésange, un peu perdue dans la neige. Belles couleurs.
Salutations

Hey Jeanpaul!
what a nice, cold image.
details are great not only on the bird, but the ice as well. You even managed some catchlight in its eye!
Very nice.
I like that u included some surroundings. Makes it more interesting.

A commendable feat of photographing the bird in the snowy conditions, JP. The eye is just a pin-prick of light but the other details are well delineated.
A very appealing overall composition.
Thanks and take care.

Hi Jeanpaul

I see snow is already a permanent factor there...but that doesn't stop you from taking great shots of animals :)
This is a very beautiful portrait of this lovely little chickadee!
The POV is excelllent, the details are clean and sharp and the reflections from the snow are gorgeous. Really great DOF and contrast, too, with lovely natural and well saturated colors.
Great work, my friend!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Jeanpaul.
Your white-blur colour palette is simply amazing. Great reproduction of the snow and this sweet bird. I like the beautiful interchanging of light and dark strips, modest but very expressive environment. Perfect poetic picture. Bravo and TFS.

Hi JeanPaul

Wow, wow, and wow. This is too cute for words.

A great composition with excellent details captured on the bird and of the snow. The colours are perfectly reproduced, the DOF worked excellently, the BG enhances the little bird, and the exposure was masterfully controlled. Great contrasts in the snow and between the black & whites on the bird.

Excellent work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

les mesanges que nous avons chez nous aussi sont très jolies et ont l'air si fragilles mais année après année on les voient revenir chercher a manger près des habitations. Thomas

Preciosos contrastes, la nieve con sus tonos celestes hace que resalte el pajarillo con sus tonos más oscuros. Buen fondo y una composición fantástica.
Muchos saludos, Jeanpaul y que tengas una buena semana.

Salut JP,
You must have been lying on the snow to get this low POV. It really helped to bring out the small size from the chickadee.
Great colors and DOF and the little reflection in the eye is perfect.
TFS,
Niek

JP.,
Love your notes.
We have so many of these birds in our beloved Alberta.
Because of my age & ill health I cannot go into the bush anymore.
The contrasts of the colours on the bird against the
"icy" snow are perfect.
Bravo. Best regards, Mario.
P.S. If you prefer I can write to you in French only.
