Photographer's Note
The small natural reserve called Baroch is an area of an old pond mostly covered with reeds. Surrounded by woods it provides feeding, home or a temporary stop to 146 different species of birds says the notice sign. I was very lucky today to meet an ornithologist there. The lovely man was happy to answer all my questions. During our conversation a tiny birdie got trapped. The ornithologist untangled the Common Chiffchaff tenderly and smoothed his feathers with his finger with great love. The small thing will be given a ring and freed.

Hi Romana
Not where you would like to be dangling upside down. A good photo of the trapped bird, fortunately to be released.
cheers

Hi Romanna,
Well framed, perfect sharpness managemen. Interesting note about ornithologist action. A moment of stress for the bird but freedom again just after ... tfs.

Hello Romana,
This is an unusual photo of a bird on this site. It looks quite unpleasant but the note tells us that the bird was in no danger. You managed perfect sharpness on the bird and blurred the background perfectly. The unsharp parts of the net provide a fine pattern.
Regards,
Gert

Hi Romana,the little bird was saved, but he was certainly less happy than what I posted in my last photo ... hehe ... beautiful natural area, I saw the other photos on facebook and it is always interesting to talk to an expert in environments like this. Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

Hi Romana,
Thanks for the note to get understanding of this striking view. The little bird is really stuck on the net, thankfully this was for the research only. I like how shallow focus gives blurry view of the rest of the net.

Hello Romana,
I was so pleased to learn that the image on you photograph had a happy ending! I know that song birds are still trapped for food in some European countries!
This is an unbelievably evocative shot!
To see the bird upside down is heartbreaking!
Your sharp focus on the bird, against a blurred b/g is very effective.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Romana,
I take a lot of photos for ring masters, almost unbelievable how many kilometers the little birds travels every 24 hours.
But a beautiful picture, because it is released freedom
A lovely presentation, with soft colours and excellent sharp.
Very well done, TFS.
Have a nice day.
John
