Hanging on tight!

[Petros Petrou]

This image was created at lake Kerkini, Northern Greece last month.
The wind was making this plant move back and forth but this small Winchat kept hanging on. When finaly the wind stopped, the bird started to sing and I had my chance to create this image.

Petros

Very nice Petros Sure like the bg and pose Very sharp and well exposed Would like to see the bird shifted more to the right to keep him off the center and might back down on the sharpening just little. Excellent !!!

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

I really like the fantastic clean bg,eye contact and the singing pose!!!
Εξαιρετικη!!!

[Joanna Trescott]

Perfect pose and BG. Agree it is a little too centered. Glad you waited for the wind to die.

[Glenn Bartley]

Very cool..re. the comp I would just take a bit off the top and right....

[Maxis Gamez]

Love the open beak. I would also move the bird a little to the right. Excellent BG.

[James Salywoda]

Beautiful pose I like the open bill and how its feet are wrapped around its perch. Well Done!

[Mark Schmitt]

Static images have to have exceptonal Ev's as there is not much going on otherwise. You did a great job in that respect. Complimentary tones of bird and BG are appealing. Good image.

Love the pose and perch here. Agree about moving the bird slightly to the right in the frame. I wish the sun hadn't been quite so high in the sky, but the image still works very well. Thanks for posting!
