Serinus canarius (canario silvestre)

[José Rodríguez]

This morning in the park.....I´m trying hard to get a little bird called "caminero" feeding on flight in these flowers. Even tough I have tried 4 mornings in the park, I haven´t succeded yet.... Meanwhile, this canary (heavier and larger) can´t feed on flight, so the only dynamic situations to get them are, arrivings and departures. I'm sorry I think I have hot spots on some of the flowers on the left I could'nt avoid....

Hi Jose Sure come up with a winner Spectacular pose ..... and came up with the right exposure. Are you trying to capture one back lit? If its not the case try setting up with the sun behind you.

I like the overall feel of this one a lot, if anything might work on the face to brighten a little (very little) Your doing well !!!! Vale !!!

[José Rodríguez]

Thanks Alfred for those kind comments. Yes I've tried this in both situations, backlited and with the sun behind me. I´m not still sure wich scenery I prefer, so I´m experimenting a bit. Will show different situations soon...
