    Excellent capture Johan! Good comp, colour, lighting, sharpness – so what camera was it if we may ask? Just shows what I am often preaching – slr does not autaomatcally means magic – one still has to learn to take good shots, whatever the camera.

    Beautiful composition. Nice crisp saturated colours. Love how the subject is isolated from the out-of-focus background. Excellent use of shallow depth of field. Well done.

    Great shot Johan. Pieter has already said what I wanted to say -”The blurred background enhances the birdie.”

    Nice image, Johan. Just a pity abput the highlights in the BG, however, there is not much you can do about it. ?Try fill flash?
