Another beautiful shot of bird of yours. Her blue color is unique. Focus is great. Her feathers are clear. Her shiny red eye is cute....

Well done and thanks for sharing.

I like the angle of your shot and the way you have captured this Fairy Bluebird good perspective. Your focus reveals so much details in the feathers and markings. I like the way she has her head turned superb eye and beak clarity. Most beautiful birds and colors are gorgeous. Your framing is perfect and good DOF. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

Atta Girl Sweet Grace!!
Fine eye clarity with bonus catch light, great white balance control on all colors, fine focus head to tail...Just a tad soft by the Beak.
Love the softened background.. Careful to make the tool small enough to trace around the beak without softening your subject.
I see major improvements on your bird photography lately!!
:)

    You are so right! I think I did fall into the beak a tad. Thank you very much for your helpful and good advice :)
Comment from michiganmike


In a technical sense this one is nicer than the male because of the softer light and the nice natural setting. The colors are very attractive and the catchlight in the eye is excellent.

    Thank you! I think you are right that this setting is nicer than the male's :)

Grace, what a beautiful bird and I love her name!

Her colors are incredible and reminds me of fairy wings. Although the eye clarity is perfect and all you really need, I find myself wanted to see the whole bird in focus, especially that beak.

but I do love her very much, so no points minus.

    Thank you Eileen! I actually may have gotten too close to her beak while softening the edges a little...so minus points would have been in order for my mistake, meaning I would have understood - thank you for the nice review :)

Lovely capture of this beautiful female Fairy Bluebird with her teal coloured feathers. I like the pose you caught as she turns her head to the side. I like the patterns made in the background by the twigs and leaves. Very good lighting and focus. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Wow Grace! This is a beautiful capture. Your teal color is a perfect shade from nature. And your background and leaves have given your a nice, muted palette so give her the stage.

The eye of the bird is always the goal of bird photographers. You nailed it here~ !

Framing has the branch moving diagonally through the screen and the bird head exactly placed where it gets attention while the bird body is a bit to the right. Again...perfection...detail, color, light and shadows..a framer!

Without knowing how the male looks like, I think the female is more than enough colorful. She is really beautiful, and I especially like how well you have captured the bright and shiny eye. She is also standing out from the nicely softened background in the most excellent way.

Your focus is spot on and sharp showing really clear and well defined details in every part of the bird, and it is nothing wrong with the exposure either. The colors are crisp and clear.

The cropping is perfect, and the bird has got a very good placement within the frame. I also like the way the bird was posing for you. This is indeed a lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

    Thank you very much! The male has vivid blue iridescent feathers that are quite stunning - but I think the female has nice color too :)
