Dan, stunning. Image #1 especially. The lighting on the bird's head is just perfect.
Cheers Ole

All great shots as usual for your birdies. You never fail to disappoint. No story here but it's OK...I kinda like them all but I enjoy your documentaries better I guess...

Thanks for commenting, folks.

Manfred, the practice has made a huge difference.

Hi, Izzie, haven't heard from you for a while.

I suspect photography is much like playing a musical instrument - frequent and rigorous practice makes for a more polished product. I remember reading somewhere that Henri Cartier-Bresson would start his day by shooting a roll of 36-exposure film before breakfast, virtually every day.

Manfred, a very good point and one that I can relate to. Thank you for the "push".

Hi, Izzie, haven't heard from you for a while.

I'm fine...just enjoying life as I am doing everyday now...life is just too precious to waste on the mundane and I needed that space to stress out. CiC had become too addicting to get too deeply involved and disconnecting to leave behind for far too long...Hope you are well...I see that you are well and taking great shots. I am contemplating on the question on whether to buiy the 72 megapixel or not as rumoured to be in the making...LOL
