Hello , my name is Marko Matesic( 31) amateur bird photographer from Croatia.....
I am new on the forum....:)
I don`t have expensive lenses...but try to make best I can with my canon 100-400 :)....only lens I own ....day and night dreaming about 500 f4....
Welcome Marko,
this is a fantastic picture. Beautiful colours, sharp an very pleasing composition.
I like it very much!
And I am dreaming of the 500mm as well, using the 100-400.... A shame, we can't share one!
Hi Marko and welcome to BPN! What an entrance with this stunning image! Love the subject, pose, perch and BG colours. Very sharp also. My only suggestions would be to crop and tiny bit off the left a perhaps a little off the top. A tiny more DOF for the tip of the tail would put this over the top. But excellent as presented.
Excellent image!!! very beautiful bird. I agree with the crop ideas too. Don't know if a 500mm could do any better. I too long for the 500mm F4. The 100/400L is my main lens too.

Very beautiful colors, bird and overall image. The pose is nice too. Only thing missing for me is more elements of its environments, leaves, branches etc. But that is just my personal taste. Great image. :)
