a species that usually lives secretively in forests :)
However, this was male kind enough to use my set up perch ;-)

I have never seen this species, Jan, but I instantly fell in love with it, based on your wonderful catch. The muted colors and markings on this little fella are an example of nature's wonders.

Love the shot Jan.
Nice perch, BG and talented shooter behind the camera.
Beautiful bird and composition, Jan, agree with Harshad on toning it down a bit and maybe going back on the sharpening too?
Good capture with a clean BG and nice perch!

Very sharp and way cool light Jan, I only wish the tail was not in shadow.

Winning image of an interesting Eurasian species. I too would tone it down a bit. And yes, too bad about the tail being in shadow.
Really love the pose and the composition is beautiful. Excellent detail and beautiful eye contact and an stunning BG. Well done !!!!! Thanks for sharing Jan!!
Jan, great looking perch for a set up, and I like the alert pose. Lovely smooth BG too.
Very nice species and warm light. Looks like he is interested in the sound of your shutter.
