January 7th, 2008 at 1:44 amBeautiful colors and–more importantly, I think–excellent timing. Colors can be provided by nature, but getting the timing right like that takes great patience and skill.

January 7th, 2008 at 5:36 amI can but agree with Charles about the timing. This picture gathers two different positions of the same species of bird, and the double subject, one in motion and one still, give lots more life and credibility but also balance to this picture. And the fact that there are only few elements in the picture, excluding the flowers of the background (which, by the way, set a great color and mood tone) , make it even more perfect in its simplicity. Really, great shot.

January 7th, 2008 at 7:32 amVery beautiful indeed! The background is really original for a bird picture and the moment of capture is perfect.

January 7th, 2008 at 8:45 amIn addition to what Selrak has mentioned I also like the repetition of the diagonal between the branch and the birds right wing.
How many shots did you take Luigi, for this perfect timing?

January 7th, 2008 at 10:29 amI think I would tone down the BG reds, but otherwise an outstanding capture. Well done.

January 15th, 2008 at 1:16 amWonderful! I am awed by the seeming concentration of the bird with the spread wings. The bird on the branch’s jade feathers are particularly stunning.
Fantastic work Luigi!
