really different love it

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Excellent work Jeroen. Terrific comp and perch. The bird and the perch look so nice against the light background. Very artistic image.

[Tom Rambaut]

Love the soft pastal colours and the snow(?) white BG. I like how the bird is positioned within the head of the reed with a great look towards the camera. I like the comp as well.

[Dave Leroy]

A very pretty picture and works well as a vertical. Bird looks great nestled into the reed/grass.

[Marina Scarr]

Jeroen, this capture is pretty special too but I prefer them in order posted. That first one tops the last 2. This one would make a good cover.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

What a pretty bird. Great detailo colors and I like the slanted perch.

[dankearl]

I like this as much as the first one.
i Think a little tighter crop might work well.

[Robert Holguin]

Excellent image. I just love the how the bird is in the reed. Great light and excellent comp.
Well done.
