I am always fascinated with this green birds you have. I have never seen here a green one in nature, we have all colours, but not green, I think.
Very nice picture, I was going to critic the blur, but when I saw 1/20 surely you did very well.
Thanks.

Taken through the foliage with oof leaves both in front and behind, if I'm not mistaken ;-) This gives the photo an almost dream-like quality which I like. Little birdie himself is nice and sharp and he looks quite alert ;-)

Esta imagen me recuerda a algunas de tus grandes presentaciones de insectos, por la composicion de colores entre el ave y el fondo y la suavidad lograda... gracias por compartirla.

This image remembers me to some of your great presentations of insects, by the composition of colors between the bird and the background and the obtained smoothness... thanks for sharing.

Oh My, Gerhard, this is stunning. I just love all the shades of green...they are so delicate in the BG making this bird stand out harmoniously with it's surroundings. Truly a beauty!

Marvelous little bird Gerhard. The soft focus around the bird looks really nice. Great note.

Gerhard, great shades of green here, on this beautiful composition. Judging from the position of his body, the bird seems happy.

Great capture.

Beautiful bird Gerhard. He tones in so well with all the green background. He must be hard to find sometimes. You have caught him so well. TFS, Janice

Gerhard, Seems birds are "in" lately! Wonderful capture & pose of this little one. These smaller birds pose quite a challenge at times because they are usually moving so quickly about...The overall effect of all this green is dramatic! Well done my friend!!

Hi Gerhard

Great shot. Looks very similar to our Waxeye or Silvereye as they are also known. Always full of nervous energy! I love the colours in this image. TFS.

Green bird on green BG. Surprisingly - it looks great! Good details and pose of this little one.

Yep...this sure is a lot like the New Zealand White eye,Wax eye or Silver eye, although ours is shorter and rounder with a tiny thin beak.

This is great! I like how the blurred BG supports the image. The greens are excellent and at 1/20 on a bird the sharpness is stunning.

Very well done and thanks for posting

Gerhardt you doring. Excellent shot. I am extremely jealous. I had one of these guys in my yard the other day and they move so quickly from branch to branch that I never had a chance. he was about 8 feet from me at one stage and I never even got 1 shot in.
Very well done
Into my favourites.
Points tomorrow

Great capture with good detail. I have a feeling we have a similar bird here called the Silvereye or Zosterops lateralis. They are always fun to capture, although they never stay still for long and its always a challenge to get capture as you have above. You can get more information on the bird found in New Zealand via this link http://www.nzbirds.com/Tauhou.html

Thanks for the intresting note and thanks for sharing.

Hi Gerhard
This sure is a very nice cutie, and one of the best pics I have seen of them. Well done.
I also have a strange bug, can I mail some pics to you - it looks mean enough to eat you.

Beautiful portait!
I love the monochrome effect and espacially diagonal created by the line joining the tail and the beak. As usual, only good comments on technic. Great shot and TFS
