Great reed warbler

[Hillebrand Breuker]

Hi

This is my first upload on this site. It is a picture of a great reed warbler, which i shot in Hungary last year (2007 ;) )

The site is looking good allready! Looking forward spending some time over here. Chapeau for all the hard work the moderators have done!

Welcome, Hillebrand! Great singing pose and clean composition. Could you post some techs?

[Fabs Forns]

Big welcome Hillebrand!!!

Great first post, looking forward to more of your work! :)

As Axel mentioned, seeing the techs helps us evaluate and give better critiques.

[Hillebrand Breuker]

Sure, the techs are: 30D, 500/4 IS with 1.4 tc, iso 100, f5.6, 1/1000 sec

Welcome to BPN, Hillebrand! Other than this being a little brighter, no nits from me.

Hello Hillebrand, Welcome to BPN!

Very nice singing pose, and I especially like your careful composition including just the right amount of the attractive bent reed perch. Well done.

Oh baby! A reed warbler belting it out on a reed. What more could you want?

Awesome first post.

Cant wait to see more :)

I wish you used a little fill flash to lighten up inside the mouth. The only reason I say this is that I did take some similar shots recently and got some really nice 'internal' detail due to the flash. I will probably post mine sometime soon.

It is a gorgeous bird and it's Hungarian, which is even better!!!! :cool:
