    Default Whinchat



    NW Hungary l April 2008
    Canon EOS-1D Mark II N l EF 600mm f/4.0L IS USM
    f8 l ISO200 l Aperture Priority l slight crop l car window shot

    Man made elements are not my favourites but this bird made me happy this spring by his colors.
    The gas pipe is somehow in harmony with the breeding plumage of Whinchats.

    Don't be shy to tamp me if I post sitty images :D

    My warmest regards to all of you: Szimi ;)

    PS: still neither able to upload images nor subscribing my threads :confused::confused::confused:

    I think the yellow of the perch is a little distracting from the bird. But this is a great shot nonetheless. great sharpness and details and very good calm background.

    A fantastic bird. The ever pleasing BG and wonderful colors and detail. Yeah....I know, not the best perch and a bit bright. I'm wondering if you could tone it down.....perhaps even make it more brown. I think then it just might look more like a rock. Well done with this bird.....a new one for me and I appreciate viewing the birds from other countries.

    I actually like the perch, colors harmonize quite well and I like the rusty spots, wouldn't mind sanitizing it a bit by cloning out the whitewash. Bird looks terrific.

    Very nice colours and head turn on this bird. Idon't mind the perch too much but I might be tempted to clone out some of the evidence of its frequent use as a latrine.

    Very vibrant colors and details on the bird, good head angle, but the perch over powers your subject. I would recommend cropping about 1/4 from the bottom...:cool:
