Firecrest

[Alexander Koenders]

This very litlle bird isn't easy to take a picture from. I guess that sometimes you need a little luck: cool:

Hi Alexander,

What a lovely looking bird. You did well with the exposure and details, However I find the cropping too tight!

[Arthur Morris]

Hi Alexander,

Wow, the bird screams off the screen--so sharp and gorgeous. Perfect head and body angle, great light, incredible detail in the feathers on the back. I do not even hate the big white oof branch. It would be a lot of work to get rid of it (if that fits with your personal ethics.) Final comment: eye candy!

Later and love, artie

ps; I am fine with the crop and subject size: < 75% of the frame is always fine with me.

This is a really terrific image of a very difficult subject. You did well to nail this firecrest and you've done a good job. Lovely detail.

One of my favourite birds.
Beautiful image and lovely feather detail.

[Eric Wikander]

I agree that this image has wonderful detail! The exposure is also wonderful but it needs to be in my gallery... great shot!

[Gayle Clement]

A really beautiful bird, so sharp and clear. I love that alert pose.

You definitely had lady luck with you when you took this photograph !

As they flutter around so fast from branch to branch it's so difficult to get one still for a second, but you managed an absolutely excellent image which shows amazing detail on the tiny fella, I am so jealous as I have tried so hard to get one as good as this

Great work :)
