Bearded Reedlings (Panurus biarmicus)

[Gyorgy Szimuly]

Since lacking new images I share here one of my favorite images I ever made.
I was lucky enough to have those Bearded Reedlings on the same reed stick in the same pose.

Unfortunately I don't have the original file with me on this computer so not too many details are available.

Great to have both in the frame! I like the light, details, composition and colors. Do you remember the aperture that you used?

It is most probably f8 (but not sure) and I used aperture priority. It is shame I cannot instal Aperture here as the notebook is too old :(

One of my favourite birds. You were lucky to catch them out in the open and to make such a superb image too is outstanding. Well done.
