A Couple of Birds I Worked On Recently...

Another very good set Joe, up there to your usual high standard. The backgrounds for these shots work very well and of course the birds are nice and sharp.

All the above . I really like the phoebe, there is something about the perch in that shot that I like.

Thanks James, very much appreciated.

My first thought was 'picture perfect' and I think I'll stick with that!

Thanks Frank....

Joe, I like them all. I think the first one is spectacular and the third is creative with the bend in the branch.

Hello Karm, thank you for viewing and commenting. The curved branch is thanks to nature and the bird choosing it.

Beauty, beauty and beauty. What more to say?

Thanks Bobo, very much appreciated.

The excellence continues. Nice series Joe. I was wondering where you were.

Thank you John...

Hi Joe,

Gorgeous images as always. I especially love the image of the heron and the Eastern Phoebe.

Love #1 & #3 outstanding.

Thanks Roger, very much appreciated.

Joe, I submit that your getting up-close to the birds is a wise thing, as is focusing on the head.
A fair number of birders use a Better Beamer [url]http://www.digitalcamerareview.com/default.asp?newsID=3651[/url for brightening the eyes at those distances.

Aside from that, the decision remains...how much of the milieu does one keep in the image.
Sounds like an artistic question to me.
