sedge warbler and flower...
Bonjour
As I said three days ago, I just came back from my "Holidays"....I went in Poland with a friend. I thought that this was one of the most difficult trip I ever done(Talking photography of course)They were a lot of birds species but they were first of all difficult to find and after difficult to get close to.The exception was this little chap. We were in the car and he came to display in front of us again and again and no we did not used tape!
The equipment was canon 1d mark 3,500mm at f8,400iso. This is the full frame picture.
Ps: I think the name of the flower in French is "Boudrache officinale" could somoene tell me the name in English as I am enable to find it.Thank you
Bonne journee a tous

This is a very different shot, the plant adds interest without detracting from the bird.
I would be inclined to increase the canvas size slightly, perhaps the top and a bit more to the right?

A superb shot Frederic, composition is pretty much spot on, (but could be slightly more to the left of centre) colours etc are just perfect, the plant looks like Comfrey to me.

Great shot!
A sedge looking comfey( as we English might say) - on Comfrey.
A tiny bit over to the left might help but no big deal.

Lovely pose and the flower makes an unusual and attractive perch. Like it as is :smile:
