Nice shot. Good DOF en pretty few colours.
In the Netherlands the number of this this bird declines in high speed, unfortunately.
Thanks for sharing,

Hello Amir,
You've captured this very well...Really great detail! Did you use a telephoto-lens to zoom in? I'd be very surprised that you could get so close to a bird! Beautiful image.

le tout est parfaitement net,
bravo !!

Great capture! I'm always impressed when someone can get a nice, tight shot of birds or other wildlife, and this one is exceptional - very sharp and full of life. Well done!

Hi Amir, A well seen and a well captured moment. It looks that it was cold and it is hard to find drinking water. Good close up show with excellent clarity.

Hi Amir,
I'm not sure this is ToS compliant, but I think it's a great photo! Excellente use of the telelens to avoid frightening the bird and perfect sharpness. I wish you all the best for the new year.

Nice capture! I guess you captured this at 300 side on a 70-300 lens which produce a shallow DOF. I like the pipe's blue color and color(light blue) of blurred background.
But there are some distractions on the left bottom corner and the right side of the bird.

Bonjour Amir,
une très belle photo sur le plan de la technique.
Une macro terrible avec une DOF parfaite pour le relief.
Et puis le sujet est chouette aussi, très opportuniste et proche de la nature.
Une photo que j'aime beaucoup.
Regards.
Daniel.

Nice nature catch. The composition is great with the bird to one side and the icy surroundings adds a cool touch. Great colour and nice framing. Good work.

Hi AMir.
Un chouette moment que tu as capturé là.
J'aime bien les teintes avec ce bleu qui donne de la couleur et qui se reporte dans le fond.
Un bon cadrage également.
Bien vu

Hi Amir
A good macro zoom shot with excellent sharpness & good use of a narrow dof. The sparrows reddish color contrasts nicely with the blue paint & bg. Thanks for posting.

Hi Amir!
This is a really beautiful picture. The blue and brown tones are a nice mix. It seems that everything around is frozen and that bird is looking for some water. I hope it was a good place to find some. Nice details in the plumage. Very good blurred background (nice bokeh).
By the way, you have a very nice gallery. I will follow your work.

Hi Amir,
This reminds me of a story my father used to tell me when I was little...
There was a little bird who was so thirsty.
So he went everywhere looking for some water.
He managed to find some and tried to drink.
As he lowered his head to drink, he found that his beak could not reach.
He wondered how he would get the water out because if tipped the pipe, he would lose the water.
So he fetched some stones and put them inside the pipe.
He tried to drink but still could not reach the water.
So he fetched some more stones and put them inside the pipe (this continued for some time)
Until he finally managed to reach the water with his beak.
He was very satisfied with his drink because of the work he had put into getting the water out.
I'm sure you also worked very hard to get this picture right and you deserve to have it so crystal clear. The ice in the bottom left balances out the frame and adds a lovely element. I also appreciate the blue on the pipe; together with the ice, this painted the above story for me.
Thank you very much for reminding me of my childhood.

I wonder how you took such a sharp pic as the bird has quick movments and it would it take 1 or 2 sec to drink and leave!
