Hi Ivan,
Nice picture of this little bird, waiting for his bath. The blurred purple flowers are a very nice, colourful detail. I like the perspective you chose, it really feels like this bird can dive into his bath any moment.
Kind regards,
Josien

Hi Ivan.
What a rich and attractive subject. Impressive stones, charming birdy, nicely blurred VF with flowers create an amazing scene. Main objects (bird on stones) are isolated from BG perfectly. Despite the sunlight absence colours are fine in their delicateness and beautifulness. Bravo. Perfect job.

This is one of the best shots on TN, so far, IMHO, Ivan!
Very well framed, with perfect exposure to highlight all the different shades of grey!
Bravo!

Dear Ivan!

Ypu present us a very beautiful picture of this cute little bird. I like its pose and the place where it is sitting on is original, changing from the usual branches. The coloured spots of the background add a joyful touch to the picture. Your notes are instructive and interesting to read.

Kind regards

Markus

Hej Ivan,
a very fine picture of the grå flugsnappare, I think this is a young bird since strips on breast are a bit soft.
The bird is in good focus and DOF, stand out well from the nice blurred BG.
Well done.
Hälsningar Gert
Nu är det höst och ljuset avtar mer och mer, skuggorna blir längre och längre. Vi får härda ut ett par månader till innan vi gör som fåglarna och far söderut för att övervintra.

Qué natural Ivan !
Esa es la palabra para definir este conjunto. Gran fidelidad en los colores
y la piedra es un ejemplo. Buena captura del ojo.

Aquí en España celebramos fiesta hoy, una fiesta algo estúpida para mí: "la Hispanidad" :-)

Un abrazo: J. Ignasi.

I don't understand this number of rating in a so short time. If the picture were special or great ok, but not. I'm sure if it were one of your first picture you'd have maximum 10 points.

When i see this kind of behaviour, i remember why i stopped sending picture on this site.

ARGUS it's not against you but against the way the people use the rating system and they automatically give points to people who normaly give good picture (as you) but not always.

Hi Ivan dostum!

Stunning capture of this lovely flycatcher (Sinekkapan) taken from a fine vantage point with excellent details and lovely posture on an interesting shaped stone. The shallow DOF has created a wonderful soft background bokeh, which isolates the beauty well.
TFS and have a nice night!
Cheers,

Bayram

Hello Ivan,
This fine and cute bird is presented in a very natural way with this well composed picture. Very nice to have included the funny-shaped stone and in a blured manner the surroundings. The attitude of the flycatcher is touching, I like this species very much.
Un grand merci

Bonjour Ivan,
Belle publication valorisant bien le sujet, sous une excellente profondeur de champ, par l'appréciation de la finesse des détails et de la délicatesse des couleurs.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.

Hello Ivan,
this is a real view. The pose and the nature of the bird is definitely cptivating. The small rock perched upon is so special making me think of the stonehenge.
The bird is well definesd and the blurry background isso smooth and vey helpful in giving the emphasis on the bird's feature and details.
What a work here!

Regards,
Foozi

Hi Ivan.
The perch on the rock is unique and the flycatcher is sitting pretty from the front view. You have focused the shot brilliantly with the beak and eyes tack sharp. At f/9, the DoF is beautifully shallowed and that must have been some factor with the converter, I guess.
Thanks for sharing and have a nice day.
