Small Bird

A small bird it is indeed, but a great photo it indeed is.

 

 

 

 

It's beautiful. Nothing bland about it!!!

It is a really beautifull picture from a sweety growing up little bird. The bird looks really closed to you. You have a very good eye for it. Nice! Make more!!

excellent! wonderful image!

Cool!

Steady hand, nice color.

Great

I think the "expression" of the bird makes up for it being bland. Wonderful!

Perfect.Details are amazing. Anna

Phantastic shot. Just 1 meter distance, what did you do to get that close?

The funny thing with sparrows here in Berlin is they aren't as scared of people as elsewhere I have seen and if you are very calm and steady you can get quite close. Some will also feed from your hand if you are lucky.

Fantastic shot. The leaf in the background is annoying, and I would want a little more room in front of his little beak, but the sharpness is outstanding and the soft light is picking up all the little details in his feathers. he's just a little too crowded.

Very sharp and detailed. Maybe a little tight.

This is a wonderful image of a common little bird at its finest. The pose is truly great! The cropping is perfect to me. The fluffed out feathers make me think it might have been a bit chilly. Bravo.

Too good to comment !

Thanks for the comments, to answer some of them I have another form the shoot here Small Bird View Two

Cool!

Mark...this is *everything* a portrait --pardon me-- a bird shot should be. It's sharp, well lit, alive, perfect in fact. Anyone who shoots portraits --pardon me again-- birds strives to take at least one shot this good in their life.

No question. A superb bird image. Thumbnail does not do it justice. Once I clicked on this and saw the detail, the lighting etc.. I appreciated it's perfection in this genre. Easily could be in one of those upscale bird - coffee table books.. Well done.

You made this common little bird look regal! Beautiful shot!

It definitely has a digital color look. I knew

it was digital right away.

It looks digital what do you mean it is digtal it is on a computer display what else could it be. It is light digitised to discrete levels that can be represented on a computer monitor using light.

All images on a computer are digtal (Like CDs). So wether it is digitised in the camera or in the scanner it doesn't alter much except when it gets digitised.

As for colour perception and all that bull film has a wider gamaut than in is posibble to digitise but still not as wide as light itself. The funny thing is most emulsion film over saturates colour or colours so much they in no way look real, digital cameras (good ones) do not over saturate to the same amount and tend to represent colour more effectivley.

When one alters an image digitaly i.e. with ProtoStrop some folks on this site go ape. Funny that they are happy when Fugi or Kodac (names changed to protect the innocent) do it its "natural" well it is not!

So yes it is digital; taken with a digital camera and displayed by a digital device.

Its not like I am trying to forge anything here its only a picture of a sparrow not a painting by Monet.

Maybe you would like to comment on the picture not the technology involved in plonking it in your face :)

Great catch. Really sharp.

A great shot, congratulations!
