Bird on a wire.

Inspired by the many nice photo's of birds we can see in here, specialy mentioning the name of *Twin* Alper from Turkey , who is one of the experts in good clean bird work, I noticed that it made me much more aware of birds, same as my friends Vandana2923 and JohnTulip .

This one was just a meter above my head and not afraid
when I 'shot' him :-)

Thanks and bye
Rob

ps
Since it becomes a habbit to put a proverb on bottom, let me try to,

It takes more than one Swallow to make Summer.

Hi Rob
This is a good photo, I like the diagonal line, the decoration in these case a bird, only make the photo even better. Its sharp, and the POV is great, compliments and TFS

Rob Goede avond,

attention the small bird will leave said one to the people that one was going to photograph. And here, it really left, leave maintaining it in freedom. Like all, I appreciate the diagonal of the electric wire and this small bird which was made draw the portrait by you.
Pleasant neutral color of background which it was necessary to emphasize that of the bird.
Met spoedig, mijn vriend. (Dank u met de vertaling op Internet) ;ODD

Nice shot Rob.
Like the composition with the diagonal line of the wire very much and the pose of the bird is lovely.
Pity there is so much color noise in the image wich does distract a little and due to that the image does not lokk as sharp as it should be.
Best regards, harry

Hi Rob,

Tfs,
Tjutjut

jammer dat de scherpte ontbreekt in deze wel goede compositie

Hoi Rob,
Mooie plaat van de 'simpele' mus. Excellent composition with the diagonal wire, regarding the quality, some noise can be observed in the sky. Framing is perfect. Overall impression, superb posting my friend!

:) Later....

Rob I think (knowing your gear) you did this with a simple standard lens and had to enlarge /zoom digital.*Enlarged inside the photo* and that way you always get some grain, nevertheless, a job well performed! First steps to be a bird man :-) Groet

Hij vroeg er dus gewoon om, om geschoten te worden Rob; stel je gerust voor die ene mooie bird foto hebben de echte natuur fotografen dagen achteréén lopen wachten en zoeken heb ik gehoord. Zou het wat zijn om die proverbs te plaatsen - er is een hele website van - ben echter vergeten hoe die heet - er zijn zoveel tips en zoveel mensen op TL, is haast niet bij te benen voor little old me.

:-) nice proverb Rob..... how much longer will this summer take to come here eh?
Oh well.. no use complaining, besides if we are to believe the forecasts we will have some nice weather by the end of next week... and guess what???

I love sparrows, they are one of my favorite birds.
I really like your composition here and the colors are nice and realistic.

Hello Rob!
The title is reminescent of the song title by Leonard Cohen, my favorite manic-depressive songwriter song on video:
"Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If i, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If i, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
He said to me, you must not ask for so much.
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, hey, why not ask for more?

Oh like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choirhave tried in my way to be free."
Could this be an album cover?
Cheers
Otto

Hi Rob.
Prachtige opname en op een passende diagonaal.
Erg mooi gedaan.

Hi Rob,
Very well captured and presented Rob. The colours are great and I like your framing and composition. Lucky for you though,this bird is a bit of a poser I think!
Well done!
And very best wishes
Bill

Shalom Rob. An excellent diagonal and the bird looks good centred like that. For a distance of a metre I think that maybe the settings on the camera were wrong hence all the noise? TFS,
David
