La beauté de l'oiseau est extraordinaire. Toutefois je questionne un peu la composition générale de la photo. La moitié gauche de la photo est inutile puisque qu'elle n'est pas au focus. Un encadré plus serré aurait eu un meilleur effet.

Malgré tout, j'aime bien. À la prochaine.

Hello Wei.

Super photo.

Hello

A beautiful bird, made all the more remarkable due to your wonderful study using excellent DOF. The composition and inclusion of its surroundings help to give more 'feel' to the whole picture.

Hi zmfactor
Wow, you have shot from a perfect angle with clear color.
I like it, keep going.

Hi Wei Jun.
Second cardinal bird shot I've looked at tonight!
This one's a tribute to the K100D and the lens - wish I had a Pentax lens instead of a Sigma.
Sharpness is great and exposure too, and the DOF makes the bird stand out remarkably clearly. I like the narrow crop, but maybe you could have the bird slightly lower in the frame, which would mean not cropping so much off the top. Anyway, really nice nature shot - glad I had a look in your gallery.
Regards,
Andrew
