I know you are looking for more skilled critiquing than I can give you but from a total amateur point of view I think with this being your first test runyour photos are awesome, especially thefirst two! I did the same thing yesterday, scouted my backyard for birds but I think it was too cold even for the birds! I did get this one below and it is nowhere near as good as yours, so I am highly envious! A few less tree branches in my way would have helped and I guess the white glare at the bottom is snow!The other oneI took downby Lake Michigan. Hopefully, I get this all figured out before spring!Oh well, I still love what I'm doing ...or trying to do! []
