Hi Luis,
Excellent capture of this pair of Scaled Quail; they look like dancing; great POV, composition, sharp fine details, catch-lights on eyes, great colours and lighting.

Hola Luis,
Las agarraste danzando?
Que bueno el momento captado, ambas paradas en una pata, como sincronizdas.
Muy bueno el foco y los detalles de esas plumas con forma como de abanico.
Excelente foto y gracias por compartirla.
Un gran saludo,
JM

Hi Luis,

Ah! What a nice couple! They are elegant birds and you captured them very well with nice catch-light in both eyes with cute pose with their tinny legs up! This is a very cute post. I'm amazed that you could get such details @ F3.2. I wish we have those birds here as well! Greeting!

Hola Primo,

Long time no see - I've missed you! I guess there are no Scaled Quails here - I've never seen one. These two seem to be dancing on the wall. They are beautiful and look much daintier than the Gambel's Quail. Lovely colors and nice sharp details of their faces and wonderful plumage. I love their crests and the background.

What a superb shot, Luis.
The feathers really do look like scales! :-)
I love the metallic look to the plumage.
Very clear and crisp.
Great creamy BG that sets the two birds apart from their surroundings really well.
Excellent composition.
Perfect, soft lighting.

Well done my friend!

Oh look...they're dancing! How cute!!!
What wonderful details...every feather is crystal clear. A perfect 'stage' - with your depth of field, it does look like they're on a stage. Wonderful shot!

Hello Luis,
The perch is concrete. Okay.
That said... it's a beautiful picture and technically well done! Precise moment in terms of interaction of the two birds.
I do like the overall greyish color.
Wonderful!
Hey a zoom+extender and you achieved a brilliant quality.

I had seen these quails earlier this week, Luis, and promised myself to come back and comment on them. They are GORGEOUS! This picture is worth an Audubon painting. I love the monochrome tonalities, natural and sandy, and the perfectness of the sharpness, the beautiful pose of the birds. We can see all the beauty of their feathers, very subtle and beautiful. By the way, congratulations to you for the National Geographic honour! When will we see the picture??? I wish we did,

Francine

Fantastic, simply charming shot of an amazing scene and brilliant quality. All is superb at this picture. Timing is spot on. You managed to catch the most impressive moment. Details and sharpness of the dancing birds are ultimate. I also like unusual and very pleasant delicate and so suitable for main heroes colour palette. Bravo. Great job.
