Here's one from May 07...I wanted such a shot of a singing Whinchat for a long time, but wasn't successfull. On a nice slightly overcasted Sunday morning it finally happened :)
Jan, this is a beautiful bird and a great photograph. I love the singing pose and the fine colors that are accentuated by the soft light. Great composition too...very impressive!
Beautiful Jan - love the colours, BG, pose, singing. I might be tempted to crop a little from the top and maybe clone out the twig on left. The blurred twig behind is a bit distracting in an otherwise clean BG. Without it the bird would have more weight in the image.
