Beautiful shot, Gert. Great lighting and lovely soft colours.
I like the way we can see the bird balancing on the 'v' shaped twig.

This is a very pleasing composition. I love the colours. This young one is not trouping the colours yet. Very nice work, very informative note. Thnax for sharing.

Una pequeña postal de la naturaleza Gert.
El colorido y la composicion son majestuosas.
Casi que el protagonismo del ave pasa a segundo plano.
Felicitaciones.

A small postcard of the nature Gert.
Colorful and the composition are majestic.
Almost that the protagonism of the bird happens to background.
Congratulations.

The birs looks very interested in his own job, as you say, looking for insects. Interesting that the foreground colours are much the same as the background ones and still the picture is clear. Very nice image.

Beautiful picture, composition is excellent. The colurs are really easy and warm. Detail of the bird id very good too. Congratulations on such a nice image.

Great capture of this little bird with fine deatils and very good colours, the sun light giving a very nice hellow in the birds' feathers.

Gert
I think the ID is right, the white triangle both sides of the tail ans the black tip, but I do not know your Europeen birds! Compo just great, the whole image sings a sweet melody!

This is a lovely composition with great DOF and detail. Very good capture

Oh very nice Gert, seen here perching on the seedling birch tree's, the colours and lighting blend well to produce a cracking image.

Wonderful one, Gert. Apart from the genuinely adorable bird, what strikes me most is the light you managed to capture. The composition is top notch, too. Oh, and did I mention the colors?

What a sharpness on this nice bird and what a spectacular details of the leafs and branches, it's almost fairy-like !
Nice done, Gert !

Gert, I like the composition and colours on this one. For me the bird is less essential as we usually see in nature shots. I love the composition as a whole.
Greetings, Jan

Beautiful picture. The contrast is great and the birds pose is very well captured. Great as always Gert.

Hi Gert

Nice tones in this shot. A real pleasure to view. Good sharpness and details. Light is spot on. Nicely composed. Thanks.

Hi Gert
I was cruising through your photo's and this one caught my eye. This is a simple yet a natural image of this little Whinchat. A nice birds eye view in a natural setting. I also love how she is gazing out checking her territory. Nicely framed, warm sharp colours and great composition. I also like that you left a few leaves in your images.
