Post Your Best Nature Shots!

[Jayson]

I had to crop them a little bit as I didn't want to get too close with my kid in my arms, but I was very surprised when I pulled them up on the computer and they were as sharp as they were. I know I can't hold that still either, so I would have to give credit to the IS.

I don't normally shoot nature pics, but this was just outside my front door so I couldn't resist.

Autumn colours are back again over here in Ireland, my favourite time of the year for wildlife photography. 400D + 300 F4L. 1/800 f5[img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.23.16/Starling_5F00_1.jpg[/img]

The background is pretty "busy" and therefore distracting. With that said, colors are great and the bird is tack sharp.

I do not find the background too busy or distracting. Birds do live in trees, however, I would use a vignette to help bring the eye to the bird. Just my 2 cents for what it is worth.
