[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This bird probably belongs to the Family Hirundinidae. But I'm not that sure about it. Please, feel free to supply any information.

In Brazil, we call it "tesourinha" (little scissors) because, of course, of its tail.

Hi Livio,
this is such a lovely bird with perfect sharpness, i can see every feather clearly.
The background is softly with nice colours without disturbing from the highlight.
Thanks and bye

Very nice picture, Livio.
It's little soft and I belive it's the lens. I have own one by myself and at F5.6 it was not sharp, F8 or more it was very good.
Well composed, good POV and n ice colours.
You did a good job.

Hi Livio,

The fabulous BG and the composition (diagonal lines really do something for a picture) make this a very enjoyable picture to look at. I like it a lot. Well exposed also. Well done & TFS!

Hi Livio, what a super composition of the Scissorhands! The BG is great, nicely blurred. And the colours and details are pretty and sharp. Very well done and thank you for sharing.

Hi Livio,
Can't help with the ID, but the composition is great. The framing is excellent. Sofy light and color, with nice detail. The DOF is perfect. Nice Work!

Hi Livio,
This is very nice shot!
Excellent details and colour, great composed, good background.
Well done and thanks for sharing!

Fantastic, Livio! The compositon really emphasizes the scissor tail feathers. Keeping the rest of the composiiton simple helps too. The soft colors give it a very delicate feel. It is all around a very lovely photo.. Well done :-)

Great tail and great pose Livio! Beautifull composition, BG colour. Bird itself is also cute.

Livio, I see you got your new camera, hope your happy with it.
Good capture of this flycatcher, not sure on the species though.

Lovely shot Livio!
The BG is superb, the POV and composition as well. Photo has nice details and lighting. I think it would've been nice to leave a bit more space from above.
Overall, great photo.
WELL DONE & TFS

Excellent details & sharpness, perfect composition and great colours. Fantastic work! Well done, Livio.

Wonderful capture Livio! Good composition and great details. Beautiful colors and light. I also like your OOF BG. TFS

Είναι πολύ όμορφη φωτογραφία Livio. Το θέμα σου ξεχωρίζει πολύ καλά από το φόντο και το κάδρο έιναι σωστό. (gr)
