Description

Found this little yellowhammer (right name in english ?) on a walk through forest. Have seen them many times before but could never capture one of those shy birds like this time. In my language it's called "Goldammer". [EOS350d, Sigma 170-500mm @500mm, f5.6, ISO800, mf] Thanks for your interest !

Yes Chris, a yellowhammer. Very nice shot, though to make it perfect you might clone out the leaf in the foreground? Just my opinion! Regards, Steve.

at Steve: Had this in my mind, but thought that it would add more depth to the pic this way...Other opinions ?

Yep, the leaf is a bit disturbing - to me. Also the bird seems to be a tiny bit out of focus, compared to the twig he's standing on? Still .. wonderful work :) Sorry for nagging ...

Excellent shot and lighting, agree that the leaf is bit distracting. But can be easily fixed. What matters is that the shot is exposed properly and contrasts came out good through the lens.

Ciao Chris. A really lovely little bird, and with a wonderful name too ! I love this bird, so colourful, not easy to see, and less to photographed ! Great shot again.

Freue mich, mal wieder einen Piepmatz in Deiner Galerie zu sehen. Ich finde, Du hast ihn sehr gut getroffen, was bei diesen flinken Gesellen eine gro Leistung ist. Bravo, Chris!!!

A beautiful bird. I like the leaf there as is shows that the bird and the foliage are similar in color. A perfect camouflage. A beautiful photo.

Da hast aber einen schen Piepmatz. fett ablach, sorry ich konnte nicht anders Nee, jetzt mal Spabeiseite. Den hast wirklich gut getroffen und mir geflt das bild im Vordergrund wg. der besagten Tiefe, sehr gut. Der Lichteinfall gibt dem Gefieder ein sche Kontur. Da bin ich doch mal ganz DE_VOTe. LOL!!!
