Re: Hawk
Nice effort, what shutterspeed and ISO were you using?

Your EXIF do not show the info...how far are you from this birdie? Very nice. I have my 300mm for my birding last year and did not quite made the distance...

Re: Hawk
Barbara,
You have done well. beautifully caught, well timed,
The only think I could possibly say to improve, though this is debatable. The white on the back of the bird and under his wing could be toned down just a bit.
My eye goes there and wants to stay.

Re: Hawk
Barbara, you've got quite the variety of birds there. This one is an osprey.

Re: Hawk
Well captured and always a bonus if you can get a complete reflection as you did here.

Re: Hawk
I have to learn how to use my 2x converter...it is gathering dust on my shelf... because I am never satisfied with the results I get from it since Day 1.
I do not think I need some prime lens either. I need to push myself to take shots like yours.

Re: Hawk
Super image - not the most favorable background/foreground but the bird is brilliant and stands out well.
