Hi Jan hendrik,

A terrific capture with excellent sharpness and colors,the bird has a great pose on the rock,almost like a statue,it realy pops into my screen,the BG is great as well,however the only small nit is imo that the composition is a bit tight cropped,tfs

Hi Jan,
Very sharp capture of this Chat on the rock.
Nice feather detail, light, POV and DOF as well as the blurred BG make this a fine image.
Maybe the crop is a bit close in front of the bird on the right.

Hi Jan,
This is a great capture!
It's so good the lighting, pose and details got.
The sharpness of the image is amazing, you really took advantage of the nice light there.
The blurry background works great to stand out the subject.
Well done and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Jan Hendrik,
This is an excellent sharp photo. You managed to let the bird stand out from the bg. Great sharpness and very detailed. Great pose of your model and very good light with nice colours and blurred bg.

Sharpness, color and exposure all look great. I agree with Paul, that I would like a bit more space at the sides, especially in front of the bird. the background is lovely.

Hello Jan Hendrik,
this must be one of your best so far.
Sharpness and exposure are spot on, lovley colours and good POV. The DOF is alslo very good, the bird standsout great,
The compostion is maybe a bit to tight but that is a minor nit and of course it's personal.
Very well done.

Hi Jan Hendrik,
Good photo in terms of BG, POV, DOF, etc.
Also content! Concerning the former, I don't think I spotted this one in KNP (Kruger).
I verified the Kruger map and this chat specie isn't listed or depicted in that map. Two other 'chatters' are: the African stonechat and the Mocking cliff-chat. I don't think I've spotted these either let alone photographed them.
Strange it isn't in the map as it is photographed in the province Limpopo and the northern part of KNP is also part of Limpopo? Maybe it isn't 'so' common.
Well done!
TFS
