Description:This photograph was published in Mike Maloney's column. "THIS DELIGHTFUL LITTLE chap has been photographed by Maria Mucharska of Manchester. It's a lovely picture, taken with Maria's Canon EOS 1000 Fn and an 80-200 lens. Flash was obviously used, but I've not been sent any details and it could have been built-in. Either way, the burst of light has lit only the immediate subject and rendered the background completely black, giving it a slightly unnatural quality. However it does have the benefit of separating the main subject from the background. If I had to make a criticism, it would be the presence of that chopped - of twig on the right. If youput you fingerover it on the page, you'll see haw much better the picture is without it. Cropping it out at the printing stage might work, but by burning it in until it's as black as the background. Nevertheless it's a good effort from Maria and the singing bird has been beautifully captured". ........................................................................................................ 2 June 2001 - Amateur Photographer
