Feel free to comment and thanks for looking

Very nice, I like the complementary BG collors. Everything seems to work. It would be great if the bird had turned just ever so slightly toward you for the full face.

However, its a comp that I'd like in my files. Good shot.

Gal, your Nightingale is lovely and appears to be singing to you; was it?

I like everything about this image; thanks for sharing.

[DarrenMcKenna]

Gorgeous light, smooth BG and the pose works for me. A very good image Gal

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the singing pose, raised tail, sharpness and complementary BG. If anything a lower angle would have made it even stronger.

[Ramon M. Casares]

I wish for a little less head turn, but I love the BG, body pose, colors, light, perch and detail. Congratulations!

[Arthur Morris]

Hi Gal, Welcome. All has been said above. Especially love the light and the BKGR. Agree on a bit too much head turn.

Gal, are you a guy or a gal?

[Erich Stevens]

Very nice, Gal. Love the earthy tones throughout. Would like to see a bit more canvas bottom and right if ya got it... just to give the feet and tail more room.

[Gal Shon]

Thank you all for your time.

Gal, are you a guy or a gal?
:) I'm a guy,
Gal stands for Wave (ocean wave) in hebrew.

Was this in Israel ?
Yes it was. during the spring they are fairly common, if you where to look for them.

[Stu Bowie]

Super pose, and I like the light, detail and sharpness in this. I also like the diagonal perch going through the frame, and the complimentary colours in the BG work well.

[Markus Jais]

Not easy to get that one so open. Very good shot. I like the colors and the light. Great head turn. The diagonal tail is a great bonus here.

I like the dynamic pose, crispness and background smoothnesss and colour, but I'd prefer a bit less head-turn.

:) I'm a guy, Gal stands for Wave (ocean wave) in hebrew.

Shalom, and thanks. I thought that a Gal might be a guy :)

HT has been covered, otherwise a very nice shot of a species not seen out in the open like this often. Nice perch, cool pose and good BG.

[Arthur Morris]

Ah, HT for Head Turn???
