Eurasian Nutcracker

This bird is rarely seen in Holland and if it comes to our country the birdwatchers go crazy.:D

Nice shot Alexander! Well, you are very lucky! Those guys will never make it to Japan! :)

Nice capture, envy your encounter. Nice BG, FG a tad busy.
You might brighten the eye a bit more.

I agree with you. Thanks fore sharing.

Lovely low angle, and this is nice and sharp. Comp wise, I would take a bit off the RHS. Still a great image Alexander.

Congrats to a beautiful portrait. I don't know if I prefer the re-post, maybe the original, but my screen on this computer is not the best.
Hopefully I am gonna work one or two days with the bird in December or January near Stockholm, where my 87 year old father lives.
