Re: Post your best bird shots!
Joel, like this shot very much, nice bokeh, pose, composition and color, and always, very sharp and properly exposed.
ssvs04, that picture of chick is very interesting, what kind of bird is this?, personally I like to see more part of the adult bird in this case, good sharp pictures!
here is mine took last week
7D, 300mm 2.8+1.4TC

Re: Post your best bird shots!
Its the same kind of duck as the one below. Im not sure of the name of these ducks. I have only heard people refer to them as junk ducks.

JJphoto,
I like the Egret portrait, the pastel colors in the background are nice, I would consider cleaning up the right lower corner and the white spots just below the neck, and I would leave some space to right and maybe crop slightly from the left.
Nice work,
Joel

This a reddish egret taken from the deck of a pontoon boat in the Alalia river, Florida using a tripod with the 1D MKIII + 500mm f/4L IS USM

Re: Post your best bird shots!
Joel - your mourning dove photo looks like a a perfect painting ...love the bokeh!
JJ - your egret shot is extremely sharp! i also can see one round circle in the upper left of the photo, possibly dust on the sensor or is that just the bokeh?? I'm not sure.
SSvs04 - That is some black bird there!! Wow, can't say I ever saw one of those before! Awesome!

All right.., something Fishy is going on here (pun intended). Your photos are starting to look a lot like Joel's and that's a good thing!
JJ, are you processing your pictures differently in the last few weeks, because I'm sensing a change regarding your backgrounds?
Why are they starting to look like paintings?

Deltasun,
Nice Composition!
Is that a Turkey Vulture?

Re: Post your best bird shots!
Both Joel & JJ make me want to get my hands on a 300mm 2.8L! Love the painting look and awesome bokeh!
