Hello Jose Miguel,
great close up on this strange bird. Excellent head on POV, looks like its coming straight out of the monitor.
Sharpness, colors and details are great.

It certainly has an impressive look and, as usual, this is an excellent capture with great compo, exposure and details. Thanks for this nice discovery :)

Hi Jose.
Thank you for support of my play as a spectator and kind critic.
Super amazing close-up on which it is possible to study anatomy. Expressiveness of the scene, boundless details and sharpness, colours are more than natural, BG and composition are outstanding. BRAVO and greetings. Extraordinary portrait work.

Hi Jose Miguel

Another interesting and very well taken portrait of what looks to be another "wierd" aniaml :))
I must say it: you really take portrait of very interesting animals ;o) They definitely stand out really nice from the rest of the gallery.
Again, technically the shot is impeccable, taken from an excellent POV, with good, sharp details and lovely colors.
The DOF is also great, blurring the BG nicely and therefore making your subject stand out well.
Very interesting note, too!

Bravo and TFS

Hola Jose Miguel!
Definitivamente, como dice Nick Webber, es el candidato perfecto para el premio al ave más fea!
¿Seguro que no es de otro planeta?
Aunque bien visto y no sé por qué ¡ese ojito me parece tan tierno!
Y el pico tan poco es tan feo después de todo.
Y ese color tan rojo le hace muy gracioso ¿no crees?
En fin, que es una criatura realmente interesante a pesar de todo.
La imagen tan genial como todas las tuyas! Un retrato perfecto.
Muchas gracias por presentarnos a este gran desconocido.
Saludines

Hola José Miguel,
Impactante retrato de esta rara ave. Técnicamente inmejorable (la luz es uniforme y la exposición ideal, la profundidad de campo óptima para mantener el sujeto enfocado y el fondo borroso) el punto de vista y el corte componen un retrato muy eficaz y atractivo. ¡Todo un maestro en el retrato!

Impresionante retrato de esta clase de gallina! Me gusta mucho el nivel de detalles observable y la carita que tiene la pobrecita, fea y rara...al menos segun parametros humanos. Me gusta tambien la expresion que tiene, que no se si es de miedo o de agresion.

Dear José,
eye catching, very concentrated portrait of a cheerful little monster.
Exciting details and rich colours. Remarkably well fitting depth of field that allows to see all the distant parts of the bird`s head - even the end of the beak - as well focussed as the eyes, while there is a most pleasantly soft, invitingly bright distant background.
Thank you! With best regards,
Peter
