Hi Joe,
What a splendid start with your new equipment!
Now you're nearly getting up to Ellis' standard!! I like Dunnocks, they're not so easy to see here. All well in focus, sharp details and lovely colours. Well composed too and a lovely background. Very impressive Joe! I don't suppose we'll see so many macro shots from you now ;-(
Many thanks and cheers, Ulla

Hello Joe,
This is an extraordinarily sharp close capture of a Dunnock with a great pose, from a good POV and in a great composition on the bramble stem.
Superb bird shot!
Don't only stick to macros, you've got bird photography talents as well!
Thanks for sharing this,
Ivan

A keen image Joey...I believe the perch of thorns is almost as beautiful as the bird itself. By now you must be joining the ranks of the bird expert stage...sort of like the black bluet of the aviary knowledge world.

Hi Joe,

Another bird I have never seen in real life. Fantastic close-up of this Dunnock. A wonderful pose showing him off beautifully. Top notch details of the face, plummage, and even the legs. Beautiful natural colors and a wonderful background.

Hi Joe,
this is great, you have not use the DSLR for long and already taken this very fine shot, I'm impressed.
Good sharpness and very fine details in the plumage and you manage well with the exposure too.
I like the pose, POV and composition.
Well done.

Hello Joe
This is the best Dunnock I have seen...I have the Bigma and I have never got close to pulling off a shot as sharp as this..Brilliant for your first use of the lense..And good use of a monopod also..They can be very usefull with this lense...Top Work and my congratulations to you.
All the Best

Joe: Enhorabuena !! Ya te han dicho casi todo en comentarios anteriores... La toma es impresionante. Lo primero que destaca es el excelente enfoque, pero fijándose bien se descubre un ojo que en pocas ocasiones lo he visto tan bien captado así como otros detalles. Luz casi inmejorable, buen encuadre y precioso posadero.
Un abrazo: J. Ignasi Tejedor.

Thank you to present us this little nice guy. I didn't know him before, but with the help of this picture and the detailed notes I learn much. From the technical point of view, I would like to underline the richness of details and the perfect lighting.

Kind regards

Hi Joe

Aaa yes...i see the first shots taken with the new gear...congrats!!!
It's really remarkable how quickly you've adjusted, my friend! These are all some high quality shots!

I also think that the meeting with Necip helped you in getting the grips better with your new camera, plus it gave you that big bonus in trying out all those cool lenses.
You shot here is very nice, with an excellent close-up on this cute dunnock. Considering the very long focal length and the slow shutter speed, i'd say that the sharpness is amazing! Very well done!
Just for my curiosity: how did you find it in terms of weight, with that lens mounted, in comparison with your old Canon? :)
Anyway, splendid work here and in you other recent pictures, too!

Bravo and TFS
Horia

PS: holiday was great! very beautiful, cultivating and interesting! definitely a place worth visiting :)

Hi Joe,

I really like the pose of the dunnock, he looks very elegant perched on this diagonale branch. Great sharpness and excellent details in the plumage. Beautiful blurry background, not distracting at all. Very well done!
