[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yellow-vented Bulbul Pycnonotus xanthopygos
If you see a bulbul in the Middle East with a yellow vent then you can be sure it is a Yellow-vented Bulbul and you should notice that it also has a pale ring around the eye and a more contrastingly black head compared with a Common Bulbul.
Resident in tall bushes or trees such as in riversides, parks and gardens.
Breeds along the south coast of Turkey where it can be surprisingly difficult to locate. Try the gardens near Tasucu and the hotel grounds along the coast near Manavgat.
5 000 breeding pairs are found in Turkey, part of a larger breeding population in the Middle East.

Hello Volkan,
Good composition with the bird!
I like the backgrolund with the blurry yellow leaves to make a fine pattern against the blue sky...
Good colours and fine details in the plumage!

Hi Volkan

A very beautiful capture shown in a wonderful set of autumn colors!
Very good contrast, excellent POV and DOF.
The framing and diagonal composition are very nice, too!

Bravo and TFS

Hello Volkan,
Those colors are very well saturated and I like those nice details on the plumage. As it regarding this composition, you had a great POV but unfortunately you cut a bit of its tail... This BG is very nice and overall, this is a good picture. TFS,
Claudine

Well done mf.

Hello Volkan,
I like the way the bird is surrounded by numerous branches; makes the location authentic.
Very good POV and natural colours.
Your note reads very well. I see this bird visiting my backyard here in Riyadh frequently and I also hear it calling in the mornings. Unfortunately, I do not have the right equipment to shoot birds, so I can only admire pictures of them like this one.
Thanks.
Ram

Volkan, this is a great picture. Great colours, sharpness and POV. This is a very nice composite. Well done. Thank you for posting.

Very nice compo Volkan with great point of view and colors.

I like it a lot: composition, POV, lighting, DOF, focus, color, background, sharpness, framing.

I like it: notes.

I don't like it: nothing.

Why did you decide to cut the tail of the bird in the scene?
Best regards... Ricardo

colourful background really helps here as the bird is dark in tone
that is a photographers way of photographing..
the bird looks relaxed..do you think it knows its sunday..:)
fine eye detail and feathers and a well positioned pose
cheers

Hello Volkan,
I like this blurred yellow and blue background, altougth IMO it's a little bit saturated, but gives a beautiful contrast with the foreground.
