Merhaba Selen,
Magnificent capture of this bird!
It's very good the side hanging pose and the eye contact.
I like very much the focus just on the head, with that outstanding details on the eye and beak.
You managed pretty well the DOF on this pic, to isolate the head from the rest.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

merhaba Selen Hanım,
bu eski dostu hemen tanıdım. daha önceki pozu gibi bu da harika olmuş. bu seferkinin duruşu, çekim açısı daha hoş. ama her ikisi de mükemmel. renkler gibi netlik, hele gözlerdeki canlılık ve ışık harikulade. eline sağlık, selamlar. Ahmet

What a wonderful pose you've captured this bird in Selen.
Like always sharpness, exposure and composition are perfect.
Great use of DOF with just the head and beak of the bird in sharp focus.
The bird does stand out wonderfully from the BG.
Excellent work and a great joy to look at.
Thanks for sharing.
Best regards, Harry

Very sharp shot! A question. Did you call him in by voice. I have always had difficulty separating species lafresnayii and humeralis on gross morphology.

Hi Selen,
Perfect focusing and eye-contact. Good DOF and exposure which allows to see nice light reflects on its feathers... Great work! Marta

Hi Selen,
Very tight closeup, I like it. Excellent use of flash, details, color, and sharpness.
The narrow DOF works well in this one for a dynamic effect :)
Well done!

Hi Selen,
It is very difficult for me to comment on your pictures. Your subjects are so original and from exotic places (compared with mine from around the house). Your technique is also flawless. This one has a very original pose showing very well the eye and beak in the first plane. TFS

Hi Selen, Its getting harder & harder to come up with original comments on your images, as always yet another lovely shot, and the detail is spot on I love the narrow depth of field....Cheers Rick

Hello Selen,
Fine capture of a Glossy Flowerpiercer with an excellent sharp view of the head and the shape of the bill. Fine lighting with appropriate use of flash and excellent composition and BG.
Nice to see your shots of these S. American species that most of us would otherwise not see.
Thanks, Ivan

Hi Selen,
What a great capture of this little bird in a nice pose. I like the way you're showing the beak so clearly and the profile is very fine, sharp and in nice light showing the glossy feathers. Beautiful composition too.
Many thanks and cheers, Ulla

Hello Selen,
What a funny pose!
This little featherball is a real charmer, just like he is smiling to the camera...
Excellent details in the plumage, focus spot on and the subject is well framed!

Complimenti: foto stupenda! Sicuramente anche le condizioni di ripresa non facili ne rendono ulteriore merito.
