Bearded Reedling Awarded POTW Accolade: bearded reedling

A well-composed image of a bearded reedling has been awarded the Photo of the Week accolade this week.

The image, 'Bearded Reedling' by epz member stu8fish was chosen by the team here at ePz and here's why we thought it deserved to win the accolade:

We loved the textures in this image. From the fluffy heads of the reeds to the smooth mix of colours on the bird, it's a wonderful example of how even a relatively camouflaged bird can be made to look spectacular and stand out.

The black fang shaped marking just underneath the eye and the bright yellow beak draw your eye to the bird perching on the reed. The soft orange and brown tones of the body also make it stand out from the surrounding beige reeds. A blurred background has been used well to create an artistic, abstract yet still recognisable backdrop.

Photo of the Week winners currently receive a 32GB EVO Plus microSD card with SD adapter from Samsung. See all the photos that have won the accolade in the POTW gallery.
