Timothy Wilken...
What we are is hungry, thirsty, and determined. What we are not always is SEEN and understood. While there are so many nature shots that would describe an animals shape and coloration, and perhaps even its character, here you have described or at least suggested at its LIFE. And gloriously so. Great piece. —Tim W.
Jan Piller replied
Ahhhh thank you Tim! very kind words!
David Clark

this blows me away Jan, an amazing capture, Bravo, my friend!
Jan Piller replied
It’s a composite John – two photos merged. I took a picture of the bird drinking and then added the branch afterwards.

OMG Jan…I can’t get over the perfect focus you got through those twigs…seriously top notch!
Jan Piller replied
hehehe – it’s a composite Kellie! It’s easy to get good focus when it’s just a bird and you add the twigs afterwards! hehehehe ( see description) Hope you’re having a good day!

Stunning x
Sharon Mau
This is a delightful image Jan, it is so beautiful!
Vicki OBrien
What a grand photograph! This image surely demonstrates the patience, timing,good eye and skill of a true wildlife photographer. Certainly one of the best IMO….BRAVO!
Jan Piller replied
Gee – maybe I should remove the description where it says it’s a 2 layer composite… hehehehehehe thanks anyway!
Vicki OBrien
Thats what I get for not reading the description…the image just blew me away….took so long viewing the picture I never read the script…...but this still demonstrates your patience, good eye, and skill with the mouse, keyboard and moniter as well.
Jan Piller replied
aww! thank you Vickie! It took a while to get the pic of the bird. He really is drinking a drop of water – hence the pose he’s in – but he took a drop out of the fountain and then let it slide down his throat. The pictures were taken only moments apart to be sure the light was the same in each photo.
Jamie Luning
What a fabulous capture.
janfoster
wonderful capture Jan : )
Vicki Ferrari
Magical image you have created here Jan! Pure magic! And I commend you on your patience with your work! Do you use a tablet? Otherwise you may have had a claw at the end of editing this!!!! WONDERFUL!

Looks great framed too!
(hope you didn’t mind me doing that, couldn’t resist!!)
Vicki Ferrari
And with the brown frame and black matte!
