I knew this must be your bird portrait the moment I saw it:) Great close up, perfect focusing and most beautiful details in the feathers, I love it. And I wish I had a six stars rating left since this beauty certainly deserves it. Thanks so much for sharing this beauty.

Your detail is quite stunning! I like your color work and admire the beautiful way in which you handled the background. Focus and great use of depth enhance the viewing experience greatly.

A very good capture. The focus is spot on. Love the deatials you have captured inthe feathers. Nice light and colour. Lovely composition as well

Wow - who's a pretty by then?!

Wonderful colours and great clarity. The detail in the feathers is lovely and the eye is pin sharp, as I would expect from you. Was it a deliberate decision to leave the yellow stalk bits in your frame and the white spec? As I sit here looking at it I'm wondering whether I might have cloned them out? Just interested to hear your viewpoint on this?

    Thank you so very much! These are pine neddles. You are the second one to comment on them. I will clone them out. I agree they serve no purpose and are a little distracting. The white speck is snow.

    Well done!

What a gorgeous shot, Willie! I love how you have him with all his details and glory, we can just see this in a book, one with wonderful color picts and factoids about all different types of birds. This would be perfect ~ and your artist's notes are excellent, as well!

Love the composition and the background ~ though the two "spiky" things are a bit distracting, it's nature and that's the way it is. Enjoyed this, Willie!

    Thank you so very much! The spiky things are pine needles. Thanks for pointing it out. All the green blurr is pine also.

    Wow! I really like that without the pine needles ~ I hope you didn't mind my pointing that out (pardon the pun!) Thanks, Willie! :}

Great one Willie, I am officially dubbing you the Birdman Master on FAR! Excellent close up, beautiful colors, bokeh, lighting and framing. Exceptional work and you've convinced me I need to buy the Olympus E3! Thanks for sharing this. Love it!

Another great close up Willie. Very well done all around. Is your lens made by Olympus or some one else. Really does a fantastic job.
Thanks for sharing.
