BIF images for C&C

[bedantabd]

Some BIF images for your C&C. All are about 70% cropped (300mm not just enough for bird )

1. A Greater Flamingo flying past in the golden lights (evening).




2. Slender-billed Gull gliding over lake.




3. A Whiskered Tern just picked up its breakfast.

Given the cropping Bedanta, all are very well captured!

I like the shots very much You are right it is difficult without an extender .

Very nice shots. The image of the gull is especially beautiful to me for the perspective and all the gorgeous detail.

It is definitely harder to fill the frame with a 300 mm lens but if you can find a locale where you can get close to the birds (bigger ones like flamingos and even gulls), it is do-able.

Hello, Bedanta. Good to see you are back with the birds!

I loved all your three images. My only comment: On #2, try to crop a little the right side and add a little more space to the left (behing the bird). Just a little, not centralizing the bird within the frame . Do it and see if you like it . Anyway, 3 beautiful shots and very well executed!

Regards,

I just wonder about a slight rotation of #1 before cropping. So the bird is flying at a slight upward, or downward, angle which will help to fill the scene a little more instead of having a 'bird sandwich' which you currently have. A slice of sky, then bird, then more sky in equal measures. A little too equal for me?

Just a thought.
