Hola Luis,
Su padre fue muy sabio al decir eso!... Esta ave, ciertamente es un hermoso angel bajando del cielo, la prueba indudable de que Dios nos regala milagros. Excelente foto, gran congelamiento de la imagen a 1/4000, como pintada a mano!... Feliz Nvidad y un feliz año nuevo para ti y tu familia. Gracias por toso lo que has compartido en TN durante este año que se va.
Saludos,
Jesús

A fine capture of a Chiping Sparrow about to land. The position of the wings is indeed angel-like and captured with fine sharpness and colours in a pleasing composition.
Un abrazo,

El maestro congelando" aves !

Magnífico trabajo Luis, sabiendo aprovechar la luz y sacándole un gran
partido a los mecanismos de la cámara, cosa que algunos hacemos lo que podemos :-)

Te deseo unas buenas fiestas Navideñas y un próspero 2011, a poder ser en
compañía de todos tus seres queridos.

Un abrazo desde España: Josep Ignasi.

Hola Primo,

Oh, this little Sparrow really does look like an angel. Wonderful timing to capture this amazing position. I love your little story to go with the picture. The neutral colors, excellent details, and beautiful but simple composition make this a fantastic Christmas card. I hope you had a wonderful holiday and all good wishes for the New Year.

Hallo Luis
Your valuable input to everybody on the site is always appreciated, for me personally you a very humble gentleman and I appreciate you for that. Once again you share a beautiful image, and it warmed my heart when I saw it. It is more than a feast to me, sitting 1000's of kilometres away, sharing in your Christmas spirit and good wishes, and may I say all the same to you and your family. Thanks for sharing this lovely photograph! The photography is excellent. Best regards.
