You know the old trick of getting a spark of reflected light in the eye...would work here!

nice colors and tones. excellent photo!

Bagus deh ih warnanya.

Great one! Beautiful colors and composition. Best regards.

There are thousands of birds shots on this site, few have captured the beauty and detail quite like this photo (at least for me). Truly inspiring!

 

The gorgeous bird helps a lot, but the sharpness, buds on the branch, composition and neutral background make for a fantastic image. Very well done.

 

Thank you for the inspiration! Any tips and advice for taking great bird shots like the ones in your portfolio would surely help an aspiring photographer like myself.

 

Amazing.

very beautifu shot!

 

nice details, composition and colours. very well done

The bird is beautiful, and the composition, with the tree branch, is very nice. Background is very nicely blurred and good colors. I only have a few technical critiques with the photo.

 

First is: the edge of the bird has harsh JPEG artifacts (especially left edge near the beak and the head) and it emphasizes the edge in a way similar to if you had photoshopped the blur of the background by selecting out the background and blurring it. This is probably only there in the downsized version for the web. Perhaps you could go back and re-downsize from the original, using higher quality JPEG settings (like 95% or whatever)

 

The only other critique is that just a slightly higher depth of field would be nice so that the branch stayed in focus towards the end. But of course, such things require luck when dealing with subjects like birds.

 

Well Done!

Fantastic colors, light, composition and presentation, Sandor. The background works great in making the bird stand out. A beautiful image. Best regards, Paul.

Thank you, Paul, I am glad you like it. Best,- Sandor
