Hi Jan, hi neighbour ;-)
Our two birds are wonderful together ;-)
I love yours, I always wonder how a single bird can have so many colours.
Thanks and greetings

Wow! I am now very envious of your 500mm! It is clear and your background blur is very smooth. I also like the bird's body which, with feathers, is very soft and smooth contrasted against a big beak that is very much like all the thorns. It works very well for me.

Hi Jan.

I keep telling my wife that to do a job properly you have to have the right tools. For me, this shot adds the next element - knowing how to use them properly.

I don't know a great deal about natural history / nature photography but I have seen much, much worse printed in Wildlife, Geographical and National Geographic magazines.

I cannot citicise this shot. I almost feel guilty wasting time commenting on it - but I couldn't pass over it without saying how much I like it.

Best wishes for 2008. Regards, Paul.

Another wonderful sharp image Jan, I'm impressed with that 500mm lens you have; Perhaps one day....
Stunning!

Jan,
EXCELLENT. The POV as well as the shallow DOF are perfect. I like how you have framed this and captured the detail of the thorny tree!
VERY well done,
Scott
