Fieldfare -

Lots of these around at the moment I know - but I did like the natural setting although I find snow difficult. Taken in my garden this week.

C & C welcome

An excellent result! Great pose, bird is nicely framed and the snow is a real bonus.

Nicely framed with the branches ,super detail and nice exposure.A result .

The shot I'm still after! I had another go today, but no luck. Still, I'm glad someone is getting good shots of them like this.

Very nicely framed and well detailed.

'Nits' covered Kim, but for me it looks a tad 'noisey'. Not sure about the ISO, but ask, why -1 comp as you had the same setting for the GWT too? Or is it me?

Steve

Thanks to all for the comments. Steve - the ISO 400 - well the light isn't brilliant at the moment - the shutter speed varies every shot nearly. This was up to 500 but a few seconds before down again to 100. -1EV - yes have kept it down because of the snow/ exposure.

I like everything about it Kim. No nits at all.

Very nice Great natural frame.
John

Gorgeous colours and a great setting. This is one of my bogey birds Kim - I'm jealous!

Tim

He looks really sad love the natural framing of the bird and the composition is very nice,another lovely image Kim

I don't usually like "framed" shots very much; they often look too contrived, but this works and I like it very much. Well done.

Indeed very nicely, and naturally, framed Kim. Typical disgruntled fieldfare expression too!

Wish I could take one like that!

Looks good to me Kim - well done

There might be lots of them about at the minute Kim, but none of them are appearing in my view finder

A classy portrait - lovely bird.

Cheers,
Chris
