Hey Christian, how are you? Good to see you. Thanks for this great post of an unusual bird. You did a great job on it. The details are very sharp and the exposure is spot on. I like all the shades of black in his plumage. He has a bright eye too. Great POV. Felicitations, mon ami, and merci pour l'envoie. : )

Great capture for new [I hope better] year. Beautifull portrait of great bird. Black feathers make nice composition with yellow beak. Great work!

Quite an image, Chris. Looks almost B&W, but the yellow bill and red leggs are striking!
And have a good 2006 you too.

Regards, Petru

Bonjour Christian, très heureux de te revoir pour le partage.Cette prise est très jolie,l'éclairage fait bien ressortir les reflets et détails dans le plumage.Par contre un petit moin pour la pose de l'oiseau sur ce garde ou clôture.

Merci!

Joseph.

Est-ce une bonne photo, à mon humble avis?
Oui. Elle serait excellente si ce n'était de ce perchoir un peu de biais.
Est-ce que la note m'apprend quelque chose de nouveau?
Certainement puisque je ne connaissais pas le Chocard à bec jaune.
Est-ce que ce photographe participe activement à la croissance du site?
À coup sûr!
Qu'est-ce que j'éprouve vraiment en regardant cette photo?
Cet oiseau a un air coquin et espiègle. Je lui donnerais bien un fromage.
Est-ce que cette photo m'aide à progresser?
Oui. J'en apprend sur la gestion de la couleur noire.
Merci beaucoup Christian.

p.s.: je teste une nouvelle façon d'écrire mes critiques, question de me désennuyer un peu ;-)

Happy new year to you too dear Taz, you've been missed. Good catch of this black bird and I love his red legs and yellow beak. And I can see the snow behind him too in the BG. Well done.
I hope the alterations are all finished for you.
Cheers
Janice

Hello Christian,
It's a very nice bird we don't have in Poland. I have never seen it in nature. Personally, I think it's very funny - all black with yellow beak and red feet. Looks like wears feet borrowed from someone else :-)
Best greetings,
Michal

Quelle chance d'avoir un oiseau sur son balcon, c'est pas à moi que ça arriverait...je n'ai pas de balcon.
Bref! excellente image, tout est beau même si la robe de l'oiseau n'est pas colorée.
